BAPS ID

Why BAPS ID?

What is the use of a Student ID in universities? It helps students access services provided by the university. Similarly, a BAPS ID will help BAPS members access the services provided by BAPS and participate in BAPS events and activities.

Email or phone numbers cannot be suitable as unique identifiers because -

Not all children (balaks/balikas or kishores/kishoris) or the elderly (grandparents) have an email address or phone number
Email and phone numbers are sometimes shared among family members, so an individual member cannot be uniquely identified by phone or email
People sometimes change their email or phone number. They may not remain the same for a lifetime
Phone numbers may be recycled and used by different people. They won't necessarily always be associated with the same person

When and where will I use my BAPS ID?

Here are some the possible uses of BAPS ID.

To register and check-in for BAPS events, such as Akshardham Mahotsav, National and Regional Conventions, KarCon, Yogi Cup, Special Seminars, etc.
To enroll and participate in various BAPS activities such as Gujarati classes, music classes, health fairs, etc.
To get special discounts in future when using BAPS services like Aksharpith.
To make it easier to retrieve and print donation receipts and annual statements for tax purposes.
To access BAPS applications with your BAPS ID and password.

Examples:

Scan your BAPS ID QR code and self check-in for a BAPS event.
Scan your BAPS ID QR code at a donation kiosk or present your BAPS ID to the Donation Desk to link donation to your account.

Can I customize my BAPS ID so it is easier to remember?

A BAPS ID is comprised of three parts:
