CSCs (3.9 Lakh VLEs) to restart Aadhaar related work within a week
Common service centres (CSC) stopped providing Aadhaar-related services after the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) withdrew authorisation from them following debates around data security of the 12-digit unique identifier.
“UIDAI has authorised CSCs to start printing of Aadhaar cards. Users will be charged standard fees as prescribed by UIDAI. This work is expected to start in a week,” CSC e-Governance Services CEO Dinesh Tyagi told.
VLEs provide government services like train ticket booking, passport application, birth certificate, registration for Ayushman Bharat scheme etc.
“CSCs will also be able to update demographic details of Aadhaar users like address, photo etc. This work is expected to start by the end of this month,” Tyagi said.
Earlier, CSCs were also allowed to process Aadhaar enrollment as well but it stopped in September 2017 after privacy and data security-related debates in the country.
