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.
