Usually, the NSR ITPIN is generated in a day. However, if the ITPIN is not generated even after 7 days of submission of fingerprints, applicants can raise their concerns by writing a mail to nsr@nsdl.co.in by providing their acknowledgement number and the POS location where fingerprints were submitted.
Why Are Finger-Prints Required To Be Captured? Who All Can Access Finger-Prints Data?
Through the National Skill Registry, the government aims to develop an industry-wide repository of employeescontaining background check information. This database is accessed by NASSCOM member companies and their global clients, guaranteeing that each NSR-registered professional is unique and well identified. This is done with the objective of supporting and augmenting industrys claim of benchmark information security environment in India. Hence, the uniqueness of every individual is established through biometrics, that is, fingerprints. Under NSR, professionals will have a life-time permanent profile that serves as an industry identifier similar to social security number. The NSR system makes best use of biometrics for defining the uniqueness of a new profile against already existing registered profiles. The biometrics (fingerprints) is not part of the NSR profile and cannot be accessed by even those companies who are authorised access by a registered professional. The sole objective of capturing fingerprints is only to safeguard the identity of the registered professionals and establish their credibility.
How Can I Check My NSR Status?
A registered professional can check the status of his or her ITPIN generationafter the successful submission of biometrics. Through assistance from Alankit, it can be easily done through the use of "Complete your Registration" option and entering the ‘Acknowledgement Number’ allotted to the applicant by NSR system as well as Log-in password established during NSR registration process.
