"Government of India has made it mandatory to link your Aadhar number with your Tez account. Please link your Aadhar number to enjoy uninterrupted service." - Waiting for this to happen. My Indian friends say they are getting these messages from the Income Tax department, their banks and even their ISPs, e-wallets providers, telcoms etc.

This is a story i'm trying to understand. 1. Indian Government wants to emulate something like SSN (in the US) as a single identifier for every citizen in this country. 2. This is an easy way for a Government to track the actions of every individual digitally and financially - end of Privacy!
2) I mean... the government is entitled to know where your money is coming from if they are asking you for taxes. otherwise, there would be no way to combat tax fraud. This is not a new thing.
> English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu. In all my years of living in India, I've not come across one person using anything other than English. Most people, even in IT, hadn't the slightest clue about how to type their own language into a PC. Didn't stop them from being "proud" of though.

GBoard also makes it much easier to write Indic languages (transliteration from Latin etc)
Not even a day and see the number of negative comments on the playstore.
I read your comment and checked the app page. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... ) It had 4.5 stars. I was like what is this commenter talking about. I then dig into the comments and there are a massive number of negative comments. I am not sure what is happening here but the rating seems artificially inflated. It shows that there are only 9 1-stars and yet in comments there are way mor…
Many possible explanations: different caching, some of the 1 star comments were by people who didn't use the app, bots, etc.

>> Edit - Moving to 3 from 1 as Google replied stating the official launch has yet to happen and the engineers are working on it. Just wondering why they made it go live publically prior actual launch. I wouldn't complain if they named it beta to begin with. Hopefully, after launch the backend will be straightened up and the app will work as expected. Crossing fingers. Unable to add bank, I just lost ₹1.5 multiple times by the app sending SMS for verification/addition of bank. Why did you pick this way of adding banks to the app when it could have been done differently?
>> Charges Rs. 5 during SMS verification. But can't even fetch bank accounts. #1 useless app for payments. Good luck if you still want to try and waste money unnecessarily
What is the difference between this and Android Pay?

1) SSN is not really a model for a unique identifier for every citizen. Immigrants have SSNs too, and can have different ones if they have done multiple stays in the country. You also can live without an SSN in the US. 2) I mean... the government is entitled to know where your money is coming from if they are asking you for taxes. otherwise, there would be no way to combat tax fraud.
