Thanks for the correction. The figure was from
http://www.lemauricien.com/article/id-cards-la-validite-l-ancienne-carte-etendue-apres-30-septembre
The article (see image) which you shared is less
confusing than "Le Mauricien". "Le Mauricien"
reported 947,000 new card holders while the
article reported that there are 981,000 new card holders.

From what I have seen the ID card is currently
used for visual identification only.

It sounds like the ICT Advisory Council "consists
of a handle attached to a piece of carved rubber
and that is dipped in ink and then pressed on
paper to print a date, name, symbol, etc". :-)
