NewDelhi: Aadhaar issuing body Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) is slowly phasing out private enrolment agencies and ensuring that enrolment is carried out only at banks and post offices.
The UIDAI CEO last month referred to the success rate of biometric authentication and said “for government systems, the success rate is 88 percent, for banks it is 95 percent and for telecom, it is 97 percent”.
UIDAI CEO has also given the details of enrolment operators who have been blacklisted and said that 10,268 such entities have been suspended for various reasons like corruption, use of unparliamentary language, lack of quality.
Here is how you can locate Aadhaar enrolment and update centres in banks and post offices online

-Under Aadhaar Enrolment section you will find “Enrolment & Update Centres in Banks & Post offices”
