Delay in Aadhar Number Generation

The registration of the people of India is a very important task. Government of India gives a lot of importance to its nationals. In an effort to regulate and keep updated status of its people, UIDAI was setup by the Government. As a result, UIDAI established Aadhar Enrollment Centre all over the India to issue 12 digit unique identification number called Aadhar.

There are two ways to apply for an Aadhar card. One is online where you have to enter UIDAI portal and enter your information. You will be given schedule to visit the Aadhar Centre to complete the process. On the other hand, you can directly visit any Aadhar Centre and may undergo through a process to apply for an Aadhar card. Apparently, this seems to be very easy task and hardly taken much time. Normally, applicant get their card within 60 days maximum time period. However, it may goes up to 90 days.
But there are circumstances in which we have seen people unable to get their Aadhar Card for a period of even a year. Delay in Aadhar Number Generation create severe difficulty for the people and as a result, they end up with no hope. Apparently, no one can tell you whether you will face delay in Aadhar number generation or not. Each case is different from others. We have seen all the members in the family received their Aadhar number with 30 days while only one person could not obtain Aadhar due to several visits to the Aadhar Enrollment Centre.

Reasons for Delay in Aadhar Number Generation

There are multiple reasons for delay in Aadhar Number Generation. Some of the common reasons are as follows:

a. Biometric Similarity - There are cases where your Biometric details face problems while scanning. This causes your biometric details matched with some other person in the UIDAI database. This is the most common problem and often people complaint about this as the main reason for delay.

You can sort out this problem by calling 1947 number and raise a ticket with the call Centre agent. You can follow up your case afterwards by using the reference/ ticket number.

Apart from this, delay in Aadhar Number Generation could be due to mistake by Operation Officer/ Supervisor or Enrollment Agency. If they do mistakes in data entry or do mistake in taking bio metric, you will face problems in the generation of eaadhar. Often staff at enrollment Centre take details of one person and take barometric of another person.  So delay in Aadhar Number Generation is quite obvious.

The 3rd most common error is due to gender inconsistency in the database. More interesting case has been seen when a child photo was uploaded in the UIDAI system while age mentioned was just 03 years. Possibility of this error might be due to mistake of data entry operation. So, these are the common causes of delay in Aadhar Number Generation that needs to be taken care to avoid any delay.
