The waiting time for Aadhaar may vary from 60-90 days after receipt of resident data packets in CIDR. However, it could take even longer in case enrolment is done through NPR exercise.
After enrolment, quality checks are done by the enrolment centre supervisors, followed by correction process (where required) and data packet consolidation. Subsequently, the Enrolment Agency sends the data to UIDAI data centre.The data undergoes various stages of screening and validations in CIDR. This ensures that the source of data is authenticated besides ensuring that no duplicate exists. Sample Quality checks are done on demographic and biometric data collected from residents. Apart from that the Operator/Supervisor/Introducer/Enrolment Agency and Registrar information in each packet is also validated. Only after passing the data quality checks and other validations, the packet goes for de-duplication and Aadhaar gets generated.
In case of any errors, the packet goes on hold. For example if the particulars of the Operator who enrolled the resident are found to be inconsistent with database or there is a mismatch observed in photo and age/gender (ex. a childs photo with age mentioned as 50 yrs), then the packet is held for further enquiry. Corrective actions are taken on such packets, wherever possible, else a rejection letter guiding resident to re-enroll is dispatched to the resident. India Post is entrusted with the responsibility of printing and delivery of Aadhaar letters. Depending on backlog for generation, location of delivery etc. India Post may ordinarily take 3-5 weeks to print and deliver Aadhaar letters to the residents.
In the case of Aadhaar enrolments through NPR exercise, the method of verification is the RGI approved LRUR(Local Register of Usual Residents) verification process. The Aadhaar number will be issued only after completion of the LRUR process which could take much longer than the time prescribed above. Residents can verify the name of their Registrar at the enrolment centres or on the acknowledgement provided to them at the time of enrolment. In case it is Registrar General of India(RGI), please contact office of RGI for further details.
Aadhaar means foundation , therefore it is the base on which any delivery system can be built. Aadhaar can be used in any system which needs to establish the identity of a resident and/or provide secure access for the resident to services/benefits offered by the system. Aadhaar can be used in the delivery of the following programs:
Food & Nutrition -- Public Distribution System, Food Security, Mid Day Meals, Integrated Child Development
Employment -- Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Swarnajayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana, Indira Awaaz Yojana, Prime Ministers Employment Guarantee Program
Education -- Sarva Shikhsha Abhiyaan, Right to Education
Inclusion & Social Security -- Janani Suraksha Yojana, Development of Primitive Tribe Groups, Indira Gandhi National Old Age Pension Scheme
Healthcare -- Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana, Janashri Bima Yojana, Aam Aadmi Bima Yojana
Other miscellaneous purposes including Property Transactions, VoterID, PAN Card etc.
The resident can contact the Contact Centre (through phone / letter / email) with the enrolment number and make a request for sending a second letter communicating the Aadhaar number. This may be a paid service.
In case the Aadhaar number has been used to avail a service or benefit, the resident can contact the agency that offers the same, to obtain the Aadhaar number.
Your Aadhaar number should reach the address provided during enrolment normally within 90 days of enrolment. If not, the resident will need to call/email the UIDAI Contact Centre with the enrolment number.
During enrolment, even when the data is entered, the resident can see the data entry and is expected to point out errors at this stage. Prior to finalization and printing of the Enrolment Acknowledgment, one more opportunity is presented to make corrections.
In the event that both opportunities are missed, the demographic correction may be carried out by visiting the enrolment centre within 48 hours of time of enrolment carrying the relevant documents and enrolment slip.
The reason for rejection along with steps to be taken post rejection will be communicated to the resident and the Registrar.
The information in the UID database will be used only for the purpose of authentication.
Authentication is the process through which the aadhaar number of a resident , along with other attributes (including biometrics) are submitted to the Central Identities Data Repository for its verification and such Repository verifies the correctness thereof on the basis of information or data or documents available with it.
The response from the CIDR to a authentication query will only be a positive or a negative response, the UIDAI shall not give out the demographic or biometric information of a resident in response to an authentication query.
For Children below 5 years of age, Aadhaar will be issue based on their parents/ guardians Aadhaar. These children will need to re-enrol and have biometrics captured at age 5 and 15 - the UIDAI will send a reminder letter for the same. For children above 5 years biometrics will be captured during enrolment. They will need to re-enrol at the age of 15 years - the UIDAI will send a reminder letter.
The full board of UIDAI may add additional data fields related to identity, and the law will contain a prescription against collecting any other information besides the information permitted, with specific prohibitions against collection of information regarding religion, race, ethnicity, caste and other similar matters and the facilitation of analysis of the data for anyone or to engage in profiling or any similar activity.
UIDAI provides demographic data verification & biometric authentication. Demographic data that can be verified includes data captured as part of enrolment - name, address, gender, age/DOB, mobile number, email address. Biometric authentication can be done through fingerprints or iris. In addition, UIDAI also provides OTP based authentication.
The NPR is a register of usual residents. The data collected in NPR will be sent to UIDAI for de-duplication and issue of Aadhaar Number. Thus the register will contain three elements of data (i) demographic data, (ii) biometric data and (iii) the Aadhaar (UID Number).
