Aadhar - Who says its free - Bribe demanded openly by Agencies, Govt. taking no action

Reported on October 1, 2016 from Pune , Maharashtra  ι Report #126197

Myself along with 3 more members of my family did online appointment registration for aadhar enrollment and then visited centre PMC Office, Hadapsar, Pune, Maharashtra. The operator charges us a bribe of Rs. 50 for each enrollment totalling Rs. 200.

Date of appointment : 07/06/2013

Enrolment Agency: Team Life Care Company
Enrolment Operator: Parmeshwar Ramesh Sarwade

On completion of enrolment he asked us to pay Rs. 50 for each enrolment, so a total of Rs. 200 were charged from us.

Considering that Aadhar is a government initiative which is free of cost, such practices which can be termed as bribe is really disheartening and this leaves us with no trust in government initiatives, as we are supposed to pay bribe for each and every initiative.

I reported this as a grievance on uidai.gov.in with case number 20150530009070 on 30th May 2015 and regularly sending reminder mails, but till date no action is taken and I have not received any advice about any action taken

I also mailed with many reminders about this case and issue to following members, but never got even a single reply.

I WAS FORCED TO PAY BRIBE FOR A FREE GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE, ELSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO RUN FROM POST TO PILLAR WITHOUT GETTING MY AADHAR CARD. AND WHEN SUCH INCIDENTS ARE REPORTED THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT EVEN CARE TO RESPOND AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND TAKE ANY ACTION AGAINST SUCH CORRUPT PEOPLE AND AGENCIES.
