My mother first applied for Adhaar on 27/02/2012. She waited for one year after that she got the information that the upload was not successful. Then again she applied on 19:04:2013, From then onwards I'm checking the status online and via Adhaar center, I'm getting the same answer "You Adhaar is still under generation". All mails to [email protected]
and calls to 1800-300-1947 give no results. Moreover in KERALA Government is mandating Adhaar Card for LPG subsidy.
DEAR TEAM IF YOU ARE NOT CAPABLE OF PROVIDING ADHAAR EVEN AFTER 1.5 YEARS, KINLDY RESIGN THE POST WHAT YOU ARE HOLDING AND SCRAP THE ENTIRE PROJECT. IN MY NATIVE I CAN SEE MANY PEOPLE FACING THE SAME ISSUE.
Why government is coming up with such utopian ideas when they don’t have the IT infrastructure to support the same. IT”S Shame on you THE ADHAAR TEAM & INDIA GOVERNMENT, even after copule of years you are not able to stabilize the problems in your dream project!!!!!

The process sucks! my wife and I were forced to enroll twice and have not got any card as yet!

ICICI bank has refused to accept the Aadhar card as proof of either identity or residence, leave alone both, under the KYC norms.

So much for the misleading govt. ads about Aadhar cards in the newspapers.

QUOTE:
"The National Identification Authority of India Bill,2010.
This Bill is still PENDING with the Government. This Bill seeks to issue a Unique Identififcation Number (called Aadhar) to residents of India. Every person residing in India (REGARDLESS OF CITIZENSHIP) is entitled to obtain an Aadhar Number after furnishing the required information. The Number shall serve as an Identity Proof, but NOT as a Citizenship proof."
I have copied the above from page 4 of the 'MINT Financial Newspaper dated 27/11/12.
UNQUOTE: Just can't understand the logic behind this ID being issued to every person regardless of citizenship. No wonder it does not serve as a Citizenship proof. The way the authorities concerned are going about issuing this Card is absolutely flawed too. Unlike the way the National Census undertakes its work by their personnel touching almost every
bonafide resident of India...the onus of data collection as far as this Aadhar Card is concerned rests upon the individual concerned. In other words... it is the Individual who has to take a personal interest in going to the Aadhar Centre and get him/herself a card. When the learned urban individual hardly has any interest in going to the polling booth to cast his vote... I wonder what is the incentive for him/her to go and collect this Aadhar Card.. which hardly could be of much use to him... when he or she could easily make do with other forms of ID (and which is more easily recognized and accepted i.e. The Passport, The Voter ID, Ration Card, Driving Licence, Pan Card etc.(Thats a total of 5 kinds of ID card.. is there need for more?) What then is the need for the man living in the slums of the big cities.. living hand to mouth care for getting this card when it would hardly mean anything to him.
In fact... I copy here a news item as appeared in today's "Times of India dated 1st December 2012.. page 11

QUOTE: The Supreme Court Notice to the Central Government on PIL against Aadhar... saying the Unique ID project Voilates the Right to Privacy. Senior Advocate Anil Divan also questioned the grant of the UID Numbers and Aadhar Cards to ILLEGAL MIGRANTS at a time when the Bill was PENDING before Parliament and its Standing Committee had REJECTED the Bill in its report.
Unquote: So much for all the noise about this UID Number Aadhar Card. The ultimate sufferer is the common man!
If Mr. Nandan Nilekani could read this too.

Let me slightly deviate from Aadhar, but with regard to mobile operators here.

My wife had purchased a prepaid sim and was asked to give proof of address and id. She took a photocopy of her proof of id and address, wrote over it, "For the purpose of Airtel prepaid telephone number:XXXXX." Airtel Koramangala, Bangalore office refused to accept this saying that nothing should be written on the photocopy.

She had written it so that it does not go into the hands of any unscrupulous person to issue number to anti-social/terrorist elements. We had to finally surrender the prepaid card as they were not ready to accept proof this way nor they were ready to give it in writing.

This is the plight a common man has to face.

with AIRTEL, I had a Bad Experience.Having Lost my Mobile Phone Instrument with AIRTEL Connection , I talked to its Receiver,who told me that he would Return to me after a few days of his Talking with his girlfriends ,who is getting married to someoneelse.After getting Fed Up with his unwillingness to return it to me,i GAVE pOLICE cOMPLAINT AND WENT TO airtel'S MAIN OFFICE IN HYDERABAD and asked for my Mobile's ( Post Paid ) Statement,showing FIR copy ,so that I & Police can try to see with whom he talked on my Phone and question them,who he is.Airtel bluntly refused to give statement ,stating that DSP's Letter is required for them to give my Statement to me at my Cost for their chrges,if any.I wondered Why DSP's time is to be WASTED on this Petty Issue. After a lapse of Month & half Airtel gave me my Monthly Statement.We find therefrom that 50 calls/SMSes are to a girl in two days.When Police asked the Girl who he is,she brought her friend ( a Police Officer's Son ) with her and bluntly told Police they are Bald calls without helping Police . Being fed up ,seeing no end to trace Mobile's receiver,I left the Issue.Had I got my Statement at my request in that week ,we would have been able to trace out the Boy,who is harrasing Girls.Unfortunately Co-operation is non-existant,even if we intend to do social servive.(2) Many of our RULES are Totally out-dated in this jet age,but Nobody bothers to improve Rules.

A number can never be ID proof unless there is a mechanism to retrieve the related personal data by feeding the number. People are mistaking the paper containing the UID number notification to be a card.
