According to the survey conducted by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the civic body has curated the information of nearly 99,435 applications, which later will be scrutinised and the hawkers who will make it to the list will get biometric cards which will be linked to their Aadhaar card.

As per the BMC, if any hawker is caught misusing other hawker's biometric card, his card will get suspended.

With an aim of implementing national hawkers policy act, the survey was conducted in July 2014, across all municipal wards. During this survey, around 1.5 lakh forms were sold out, of which 99,435 applications were received by the BMC.

Along with registering eligible hawkers’ names, the civic body will give them biometric cards as well which will be linked to their Aadhaar cards. The cards will be given on their area preference and to scrutinise the same, the BMC licence supervisors will be given machines.
