As many as 15,000 employees enrolled in the scheme on the very first day on November 6, according to sources. Two days back, the debt-ridden telco announced VRS for employees aged 50 and above. Eligible employees are rushing in to apply for the scheme as rumours that the company capped this offer for 80,000 employees only — is doing the rounds. While the telecom player has around 176,000 employees, as many as 106,000 fall under the eligibility age. The telco was hoping that 80% of the employees would opt for VRS. “The number of persons in the organisation are far higher than the competitors. We are looking forward to reduce 70,000 to 80,000 employees, and make it attractive for the employees, so that they can see value in the VRS," Pravin Kumar Purwar, Chairman of BSNL <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/bsnl-which-is-yet-to-pay-august-salaries-wants-to-give-an-attractive-retirement-package-to-80000-employees/articleshow/70988909.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">said </a> a few months back. Even after the scheme is implemented, the telco will have 100,000 employees on its rolls. Reducing headcount is important for both BSNL and MTNL who are being dragged down by debt. As the government is implementing the rescue package, both these state-owned companies which will be merged — want to modernise processes and get ready to compete in the market. The VRS scheme will be available till December 3, 2019 till 5:30 pm. The government will infuse a total of ₹29,900 crore for VRS settlements and retirement liabilities of BSNL and MTNL. MTNL too announced the same scheme on November 3. After implementing the bailout scheme for BSNL and MTNL, the union government plans to trim the retirement age of the employees to 58 years. The current age for retirement is 60 years. Last month, the government decided to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/policy/news/bsnl-and-mtnl-will-be-merged-and-employees-will-be-offered-voluntary-retirement-as-part-of-revival/articleshow/71721917.cms">merge</a> BSNL and MTNL. While the merger will take some time to be implemented, MTNL will be considered as a subsidiary of BSNL till then. In 2019, BSNL’s revenues dipped and the accumulated losses stood at ₹14,000 crore while MTNL posted a loss of ₹3,388 crore.

Thanks to the Indian government’s new move, Indian citizens might soon be able to validate the credentials of drivers and domestic helps using their <keyword id="6356006" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aadhaar-card">Aadhaar card</keyword> numbers, before they hire them. 
 
The government is planning to widen the scope of the Aadhaar authentication system. As of now, it has been restricted to banks and a few government departments, but soon, it would be open to individuals and private companies. In doing so, all privacy concerns would be addressed by using a more secure method. 
 
In exchange of a small fee, anyone would be able to use the unique identity number and verify the details of others. This would be allowed to done online in real time, unlike many other identity documents such as voter, ration and PAN cards. This would also allow companies to authenticate the records of their consumers and staff. 
 Unique Identification Authority of India (<keyword id="6355252" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="UIDAI">UIDAI</keyword>) is looking forward to appointing third-party agencies to carry out the authentication on behalf of individuals and companies. 
 
"Various use-cases can be built using the Aadhaar authentication service, especially by startups who have been requesting for access," an official told ET on the condition of anonymity. 
 
The move has come after Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently commanding to expand the use of Aadhaar. 
 As far as privacy is concerned , the new authentication system will function differently from eKYC norms, the current norms used by government departments and banks. This allows user agencies to enter the <keyword id="485058" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Aadhaar-number">Aadhaar number</keyword> and biometrics of a person after which the UIDAI server provides the name, address and other details, to be stored by the agencies. 
 
When the service will be extended to private companies and citizens, only the bar code on the Aadhaar letter will have to be scanned and the data it contains will be sent to the Aadhaar database for verification, to return either with a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’. 
 
"This will be most secure way of authentication since there will be no transfer of any citizen data through the UID database," the official said. 
As per UIDAI data, there are about 330 authentication user agencies and over 111 crore transactions have been handled since the service started. About 20 companies have so far signed up for the Aadhaar authentication service, which include telecom service providers like Bharti Airtel, Vodafone and state-owned BSNL, as well as financial services firms such as MasterCard and Visa.
