Taniksha Infotech, claims easy income on posting ads, uploading CVs, inducting people and generating IDs for UID. However, there is no guarantee that you will earn easy money 

If the debate surrounding over the invasion of privacy with the government’s unique identity (UID) scheme is not enough, here is a company, which claims to have worked with the authorities in the project and is also selling UID kit for registration to anyone who has Rs5 lakh to spare. However, this cannot be confirmed from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

Kolhapur-based Tanishka Infotech, which calls itself a business process outsourcing (BPO) services provider promises easy money for working on its different schemes from home. On its website, the company has various projects, under the non-voice category, from claiming easy income on uploading CVs, converting PDF to word files, adding a post plan to form filling and UID project. It offers compensation such as royalty income on the monthly billing.

According to the company, it sells an UID kit for Rs5 lakh. The kit consists of web cam, desktop, finger print scanner, eye/retina scanner, scanner printer and UPS. Further, the company will pay a Rs23 on per ID (identity) generated and 5% as royalty income on monthly billing. Surprisingly on the website of UIDAI, the company’s name is nowhere in the list of approved contractors or suppliers.

Taniksha Infotech, according to its website, claims to provide home based jobs, online jobs, offline jobs, pay per click jobs, affiliate marketing, making money online, ad sense, data entry jobs. Only catch is one needs to pay certain amount to become a member for a limited period.

For instance, in its ad posting plan, it pays Rs5,400 as monthly payout on the registration fee of Rs3,500. Maximum such posting is 1,800 and for each posting, it pays Rs3. The plan is valid for three months. The monthly income increases on various schemes under this plan.

Similarly, the company also has a project named, PDF to Doc, where it claims of giving Rs15,000 as monthly income on a registration fee of Rs11,000. The work is simple. One just has to copy paste material from a PDF file to a word file. It pays Rs10 per page. One has to give 1,500 pages in one month and the contract lasts for six months. Company also promises to pay 10% as royalty once the contract ends.

Experts say these business schemes use financial logic that is difficult to follow and the plan and the company is bound to collapse some time, if not immediately. In fact, several companies that collected money for giving income by just watching ads have vanished, thus duping thousands of people.

One of the readers of Moneylife told that, “A few months ago, while interviewing a young girl for a job, I first came across this scam. Later I received an e-mail from Tanishka Infotech about a Quick-Get-Rich scheme. I talked to the guys and realized it was a complete fraud and some gullible people were going to lose substantial amounts of money.”
