Question

Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a key component of India Stack Global?

• A. Aadhaar & UPI
• B. Aarogya Setu
• C. BHIM Aadhaar
• D. DigiLocker

Answer 1

Answer:

C. BHIM Aadhaar

Of the options you provided, BHIM Aadhaar is not mentioned as a key component of India Stack Global.

• BHIM Aadhaar: This is a specific application that enables merchants to accept payments using a customer's Aadhaar number and biometric authentication. While it is built on the Aadhaar and UPI platforms, it is not listed as one of the 15 primary projects/platforms under the broader India Stack Global initiative. It's an example of an application built using the India Stack components, rather than a foundational component itself.

• Correct Components: The India Stack Global initiative focuses on showcasing core digital public infrastructure. The key projects and platforms mentioned as part of the initiative are:

  • Aadhaar: A foundational digital identity system.

  • UPI: A real-time payment system that has revolutionized digital payments.

  • DigiLocker: A secure platform for storing and sharing official documents.

These three components form the backbone of the India Stack, but the India Stack Global initiative also includes other significant platforms like Aarogya Setu, UMANG, and GeM (Government eMarketplace) to name a few.
