FROM OCT 1, AADHAAR A MUST FOR DEATH CERTIFICATES
unquestioningly, and whom she calls ‘Hairy’. Sejal is naïve bordering on silly, and this somehow endears her to Harry, who decides he must be her protector. “Tum us type ki ladki ho hi nahi,” is one of his highest compliments.
The slow build-up gives SRK sufficient time to showcase his skills as loverboy.
There’s a back-story too but it’s essentially a remix of director Imtiaz Ali’s earlier films.
From title to climax, everything screams ‘been there, done that’. And that is not typical of Imtiaz Ali. It’s like he doesn’t know where to take the story, and so it lurches from one song to the next, the screenplay feeling like it was reverse-engineered to lead into each jig.
There’s a terrible angle involving Chandan Roy Sanyal and his gang of unfunny migrants.
Anushka tries desperately to look cutely silly, even when mouthing lines like “Main waisi ladki nahi hoon jo apni engagement tod degi” and “Lonely feel nahi karna hai”. There is no subtlety here. There are some hummable tunes. All in all, it’s 143 minutes of lethargic storytelling.
The Aadhaar number will be mandatory for the registration of deaths from October 1, the Registrar General India (RGI) announced on Friday, saying the 12-digit identification number will provide an effective method to prevent “identity fraud”.
The RGI said in a notification the use of Aadhaar will result in ensuring the accuracy of the details provided by relatives or dependents or acquaintances of the deceased. It will obviate the need to produce multiple documents to prove the identity of the person who has died, it added.
The RGI, which functions under the home ministry, has directed concerned departments in respective states and Union Territories responsible for registration of birth and death to ensure compliance by concerned registration authorities. It will come into effect across the country, except Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, and Meghalaya for which a date will be notified separately.
An applicant who is not aware of the Aadhaar number or Enrolment ID Number (EID) of the deceased will be required to provide a certificate that the deceased person does not possess Unique Identity Number to the best of his or her knowledge.
Any false declaration given by the applicant will be treated as an offence as per the provisions of Aadhaar Act, 2016, and also Registration of Birth and Death Act, 1969. The applicant’s Aadhaar number will be collected along with that of the spouse or parents.
The linking of Aadhaar with Permanent Account Number has also been made compulsory for filing Income Tax returns, and for any bank transaction over ₹50,000. The number is also mandatory for availing some welfare schemes of the government.
IT WILL COME INTO EFFECT ACROSS THE COUNTRY, EXCEPT J&K, ASSAM, MEGHALAYA, FOR WHICH A DATE WILL BE NOTIFIED LATER SEPARATELY
