Modi government is going to implement a new system for Aadhaar card. Under this, verification of those applying for a new Aadhar card will be done by the state government. This will be on the lines of passport verification. New Aadhaar card will be issued only after the approval of SDM level officer. It has also started in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, the Unique Identification Authority of India used to do the verification.
New system for those who have completed 18 years: According to the new instructions of the Unique Identification Authority of India, this process will be applicable only for the youth who have completed 18 years of age. Once the Aadhaar card is made, they will also be able to do all types of updates as per the normal process. At the same time, people whose Aadhar cards are already made will not have to go through this new system.
State Government’s permission is mandatory: According to the instructions, the government will nominate Additional District Magistrate at the district level and SDM at the sub-division level for physical verification of the application. Cards will be issued only after completing the verification process by these designated officers. District head post offices and other Aadhaar centers will be specifically selected for physical verification.
It may take up to 180 days to generate Aadhaar: In the new system, it may take up to 180 days for a new Aadhaar to be issued. Under this, after Aadhaar enrollment (application), UIDAI will check the data quality and then send the application to the Service Plus portal. SDM will verify the applications received on the portal. There will be physical verification of all the documents submitted by the applicant. After this, permission to issue Aadhaar will be given from SDM level. If the documents are found doubtful or incorrect then the application will be rejected.
It is mandatory to be present on the spot: As per the instructions, it will be mandatory for the applicant to be present on the spot during physical verification. For this, applicants living in other states and union territories will be advised to return to their home state for verification.
