Updating PAN card address using Aadhar e-KYC | India

Recently when I shifted home more permanently  I online changed my address in my Aadhar card. I wanted this to reflect in PAN as well and was wondering how to go about it when I landed on an online by NDSL which allows you to use your Aadhar address details to update your PAN address details.

Welcome Screen on NDSL.
  1. When you click on NDSL online address change link you should see a simple form which asks for your PAN number (AAAAANNNNA) and a 12 digit Aadhar number (NNNNNNNNNNNN) and your email and mobile number. Note that the mobile number needs to be linked to Aadhar card to make use of this service.There is a captcha too be navigated.
  2. This leads you to a page that with your permission generates an OTP. You enter the OTP which is sent to your mobile number by UADAI (Aadhar).
  3. Your address details from Aadhar database is populated in the next page, which you can verify (you can not change the details though) and click the "verify" button.
  4. The following page ask for another OTP, this time sent by NDSL to both your mobile phone and to you email address (the details that you entered on the first page). This is to validate the mobile number and the email address.
  5. Once you enter these details (two OTP's from NDSL - one on your mobile number and the other on your email address), you are shown an acknowledgement saying that your request has been submitted to Income Tax department.
  6. Welcome Screen on NDSL.
  7. You should also see an email with the header "Your request for address update facility submitted vide acknowledgement number 8x1x3x5x0x0x9xx on 20xx-0x-x4 0x:x7:x0.x9" along with an attachment.
  8. Acknowledgement!
Fairly simple. However you might have to try several times if the servers are misbehaving! especially between Step 5 and Step 6.

Summary
if you want to replicate your Aadhar address details on your PAN!
  1. You need to have a valid Aadhar card
  2. You need a valid PAN card
  3. You need updated address details in your Aadhar database
  4. You will need a mobile number linked to your Aadhar
  5. Access to received OTP on your mobile and email address
  6. Your mobile service needs to work, the NDSL servers need to work, your email servers need to work, internet up ;-)

Visualizing Speech Processing Challenges!

Often it is difficult to emphasize the difficulty that one faces during speech signal processing. Thanks to the large population use of speech recognition in the form of Alexa, Google Home when most of us are asking for a very limited information ("call my mother", "play the top 50 international hits" or "switch off the lights") which is quite well captured by the speech recognition engine in the form of contextual knowledge (it knows where you are; it knows your calendar, it know you parents phone number, it knows your preference, it knows your facebook likes .... ). Same Same - Different Different:   You speak X = /My voice is my password/ and I speak Y= /My voice is my password/. In speech recognition both our speech samples (X and Y) need to be recognized as "My voice is my password" while in speaker biometric X has to be attributed to you and and Y has to be attributed to me! In this blog post we try to show   visually   what it means to pro

BITS Pilani Goa Campus - Some Useful Information

You have cleared the BIT Aptitude Test and have got admission to BITS Pilani Goa Campus. Congratulation . Well Done. This is how the main building looks! Read on for some useful information, especially since you are traveling for the first time to the campus and more or less you will face the same scenario that we faced! We were asked report on 29-Jul-2018 (Sunday) to take admission on, 30-Jul-2018.  We reached Madgoan (we traveled by train though the airport is pretty close to the BITS campus, primarily to allow us to carry more luggage!)at around 0700 hours (expect a few drizzles to some good rain - so carry an umbrella) on 29-July-2019. As you come out you will be hounded by several taxi drivers, but the best is to take the official pre-paid taxi. It should cost you INR 700 to reach the BITS campus. We had booked a hotel in Vasco (this is one of the closest suburb from BITS campus, a taxi should charge you around 300-350 INR; you will make plenty of trips!) and

Authorship or Acknowledgement? Order of Authors!

 {Personal views} Being in an R&D organization means there are several instances when you have to write (Scientific or Technical Papers) about what you do in peer reviewed conference or journals.Very often, the resulting work is a team effort and as a consequence most papers, written today, have multiple authors.  Few decades ago, as a research scholar, it was just you and your supervisor as the two sole authors of any output that came out of the PhD exploration. This was indeed true, especially if you were writing a paper based on your ongoing research towards a PhD. In the pre-google days, the trend was to email the second author (usually the supervisor) to ask for a copy of the paper so that you could read the research and hopeful build on it because you knew that the supervisor would be more static in terms of geo coordinates than the scholar.   However the concept of multiple authors for a research article is seeping into academic research as well. These days labs write papers
