The government is planning to limit the role of private agencies in Aadhaar enrolment and will focus on setting up permanent centres owned by the government and banks to facilitate registrations and updates as the country nears 100% Aadhaar saturation levels. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has said this in a presentation to banks recently while informing them of the need to become UIDAI registrars for enrolling their customers under Aadhaar, and stressing on its intention of restricting the role of private registrars. The government is banking on 24,000-plus post offices and 12,000 bank branches to offer Aadhaar services to citizens by March next year.
