The report, submitted in the Lok Sabha on the demands for grants (2025-26), said technological intervention should not be made mandatory due to operational challenges that have led to exclusions of genuine beneficiaries.

The committee headed by Congress MP Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka said in many instances, workers have been wrongfully removed from the system due to discrepancies between Aadhaar and job card records.
