#Mumbai – Illegal permission granted to a jain community to generate #aadhaar cards. #UID

RTI-INDIA TEAM,

Recently, on 6th of March’13, we came to know that the Shri xxxxxxx (Parel – Mumbai) had organized an unauthorized / illegal Aadhaar enrollment center in Parel .Since they claimed to our local residents that they had taken a special permission from the concerned departments, for this enrollment for their Jain community only, which was opened up to 2230 hrs, so some local residents got suspicious about their moves, after proper investigation we found out that they were charging Rs.200/- per head for the same, when approached and demanded the permission letter, they were not in a position to produce, so we had to inform the police authorities, who arrived and seized their gadgets/ deleted all the data and registered a complaint against them.

The UIDAI had launched this Aadhaar program to provide a unique ID number to all citizen of India, where this enrollment is free of cost, this is totally against the law under the Planning Commission, Govt. of India.

Sirs, if such unauthorized organization are given powers as the Planning Commission Dept or their nominated agencies,surely there will be duplications and fake identities.

Appreciate, if our crusaders can guide me to get this incident noticed to proper departments through your valuable support.

Await for your favorable response to ahead with this matter.

Pleased to hear.
