UIDAI has suspended 1.2% of the total operators for attempted fraudulent activities


About 1.2 % of the total operators have been suspended in last one year, due to attempted fraudulent activities and necessary penal action has been taken in such cases, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) said on Tuesday.


“UIDAI regularly carries out inspection to find out deviant behavior among operators. UIDAI does benching and retraining of operators on a regular basis,” it said in a statement.

An operator is employed by an agency to enrol residents at an enrolment centre. The operator’s job includes performing enrolment for an Aadhaar card, generating the card number, capturing demographic and biometric data of the resident, as per the UIDAI guidelines.

UIDAI said that as part of Aadhaar 2.0, a roadmap has been drawn covering areas like continued focus on Resident centricity, enhancing the use of Aadhaar, further strengthening the people’s trust on Aadhaar, adoption of new technologies and up-gradation of existing technologies as well as increasing the international outreach.

The UIDAI said a number of initiatives have been taken to strengthen the Aadhaar System in the recent past which include biometrics based de-duplication and strengthening Aadhaar enrolment and updation in the eco system.

In order to discourage “mischievous operators” from misusing the system, GPS fencing has been embedded in the enrolment machines.

Trusted and verified operators of enrolment agencies only are allowed to carry out new enrolments,” it said.

Further, state governments have been roped in for quality check of all new adult enrolments.
