70.43 crore AADHAAR card issued

A total of 70.43 crore Aadhaars have been generated in the country as on 15 November 2014. The Aadhaar saturation level is more than 90% in nine States / UTs; between 75 and 90% in seven States /UTs and between 50 and 75% in another eight States / UTs. In remaining twelve States /UTs, the Aadhaar saturation level is under 50%.  This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Planning, Shri Rao Inderjit Singh in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.

 The Minister said that a total outlay of Rs. 13663.22 crore has been sanctioned for Aadhaar project for the period 2009-2010 to 2016-2017.  As on 31 October 2014 a total amount of Rs 5181 crore has been spent on this scheme since inception.

He said that the issuance of Aadhaar number is progressing as per defined milestones. While a target of universal enrolment is being pursued, it has to be noted that Aadhaar enrolment is undertaken on voluntary basis and is an ongoing process.  There is no deadline for linking Aadhaar with bank accounts of beneficiaries of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) Schemes,.

Shri Rao said that as part of processing of each enrolment, various checks including the de-duplication process are undertaken before Aadhaar is generated. The enrolments with incorrect information, process violation, duplicate enrolment etc. are rejected and not processed further for Aadhaar generation.

He said that UIDAI has provided a facility for the residents to update their Aadhaar data through Permanent Enrolment Centres and online  Self Service Update Portal. 

In order to redress the various grievances & complaints related to Aadhaar, a redressal mechanism has been established by UIDAI by means of a Contact Centre which serves as a helpline, with the Toll Free Number and an  e-mail id which has been given wide publicity. Further, grievance redressal cells have been established at   each of the eight Regional Offices of UIDAI.
