Josimal B Jose is a woman from kottayam, Kerala. She was unable to get an Aadhaar number for a long time due to her lack of fingers. In this scenario, the Jos matter came to the notice of Union minister of State for Electronics and Information technology Rajiv Chandrasekhar. After this, he directly intervened in this matter. The central government announced that if the fingerprints of an eligible person are not available for Aadhaar number registration, the iris of the person can be scanned and registered.
 The central government announced that if the fingerprints of an eligible person are not available for Aadhaar number registration, the iris of the person can be scanned and registered. After this, the Aadhaar team went to Jose's house at Kumaragam in kottayam district, scanned her iris, recorded other details, and proceeded to issue the Aadhaar number. He said that all Aadhaar service centers have been advised to get alternative biometrics to issue Aadhaar to people with disabilities like Joes i.e. fingerless people.
3 Ways for Aadhaar Enrollment Citizens now have 3 alternatives for Aadhaar Enrolment.

1. Iris Scan: Individuals can now register their Aadhaar based on iris scan only.

 2. Fingerprint: If iris is not possible, individuals can use only fingerprints for Aadhaar enrollment.
3 No biometric Required: people who cannot provide both an iris scan and fingerprint can also register Aadhaar. In such cases, such persons should record the following details. Also, to compensate for the absence of a biometric scan, a photograph of the individual will be taken in a specified manner. This ensures a comprehensive identity verification process. The new rules aim to promote inclusion in social security schemes and make Aadhaar accessible to individuals with unique circumstances.
