As an interesting aside: The UIDAI specified error margins and duplicate verification system is such a hoot, that they cant even verify themselves how many false rejects or accepts are there. As per their specifications there will be well above 200 million duplicates or rejects, which translates to 200 million fakes - you dont know wether the Fprint is fake or the data is fake.
It is a start. Like any system, there would be technical failures which will have to be corrected.
E.g. more stable biometric like DNA can be captured at the time of issuing birth certificate and that could be initiation of a person's national ID.
