Posted on: 25/Nov/2017 12:45:58 PM
India Post has introduced the facility of registering Aadhar card number and associated activities as an additional service in the Post Offices. This is a joint effort with UIDAI.
This new service was inaugurated at the Anna Salai Post Office in Chennai yesterday (Friday, 24th November).
This facility is planned to be introduced subsequently in the Head Post Offices in Madurai, Trichy, Coimbatore, Nagercoil, Nellai, Vellore, Erode, Salem, Tirupur, Dindigul, Kanchipuram, Thiruvallur, and Puducherry.
Further, this facility is planned to be extended to all the 1434 Post Offices in the state of Tamil Nadu in the next 1 or 2 months.
The facility to correct Aadhar details has already been introduced in 70 Post Offices in Tamil Nadu and so far, 14756 corrections have been carried out.
An order has been issued that Aadhar card details will be mandatory and the banks, telecom service providing companies, Post Office banks, LPG cooking gas agents have all been strictly informed to procure the Aadhar card data from all their customers. Aadhar card is mandatory to file Income Tax returns as well as getting ration cards.
Until now, there were only a few places where Aadhar card registration could be done. The public had to spend a long time waiting. Now, they can visit the nearest Post Office in their locality and carry out the registration or corrections in their Aadhar cards.
