Aadhar Card Not Received

• One common problem that many citizens have reported is they are not receiving their Aadhaar cards in spite of having applied for the same. It is a problem mainly with those who had applied for an Aadhaar card during the initial enrolment days.

• Sometimes, the delay may be due to the card not being printed (because of backlog/technical reasons) or maybe lost in transit. Further, the delivered cards are either wrongly encrypted or have incorrect information. But before lodging a complaint, you should keep in mind that it takes up to 3 months for the card to reach you.

• Most importantly, after applying for an Aadhaar card, if an online Aadhaar status inquiry displays the card as ready and has been dispatched - even if your Aadhaar card is not received - you will be able to avail all the benefits under the Aadhaar program.

• You can contact the Government helpline numbers or the portal. Some vital contact information is provided below:

You can contact the call centre through this number: 1947

Alternatively, you may also send an email at this id: help@uidai.gov.in

For those who have applied for Aadhaar recently, or, in case your Aadhaar validation letter is not delivered, follow below-mentioned steps to get E-Aadhaar card online.

• Step 1: Visit the UIDAI portal uidai.gov.in

• Step 2: Access your enrolment number to know the status of your Aadhaar card.

• Step 3: If the status is successful, you can print your Aadhaar card through the portal itself.

• Step 4: E-Aadhaar is easy to download and print.

• Step 5: Alternatively, you can get the e-Aadhaar from the UIDAI office or regional enrolment centre.

If you have not received your physical Aadhaar Card yet, you can always download a soft copy of the same from the UIDAI website. Also known as the e-Aadhaar card, it is as valid and as widely accepted as the physical version. You can even print it out and get it laminated for future use until the physical copy is delivered.

If you do not prefer the online route, you can do it via the offline route. Follow the steps mentioned below to do so.

• Step 1: First, find a permanent enrolment centre through appointments.uidai.gov.in

• Step 2: After that, all you will need to do is fill out the relevant application form. Note that you will need to carry documents such as your identity proof and residence proof.

• Step 3:Post filling out the form, your biometric data such as your fingerprints and your iris scan will be recorded. Additionally, a picture of you will be taken as well.

• Step 4:Once you are done with the enrolment process, you will be given an acknowledgement slip.

Once your details are successfully verified, you will receive your Aadhaar Card within three months of completing the enrolment process.

You can download your e-Aadhaar Card by following the steps mentioned below.

• Step 1: First, visit the UIDAI website at eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in

• Step 2: Next, you will see three options in front of you, namely ‘Aadhaar’, ‘VID’ or ‘Enrolment ID’. Depending upon the information you have on your person, select one. If you do not have any of them, you can visit resident.uidai.gov.in/find-uid-eid and retrieve this info.

• Step 3: Then, you will see a page that asks you to fill out some basic details. Complete this step by clicking on the ‘Request OTP’ button.

• Step 4: Within seconds, you will receive a one-time password on your registered mobile number, which you must enter in the relevant field.

• Step 5: Finally, click on the ‘Download Aadhaar’ button. After it gets downloaded, you must open the PDF file with the password combination displayed on your page.

You can save this soft copy on your mobile device or take a printout and get it laminated in order to use it until your physical Aadhaar Card arrives.

One of the main issues citizens encounter despite applying for their Aadhaar cards is not receiving them. Going through the details mentioned above will help you understand what to do in this kind of circumstance.

The government has made it mandatory for all citizens to have an Aadhaar card, which has a unique 12-digit identifying number for each individual. Moreover, you need to have your Aadhaar card in order to apply for home loan. It is the most crucial document required to confirm a person's identity and address when accepting a house loan application. If you need a home loan, visit Bajaj Markets.
