The Delhi government has put out public notices declaring that an Aadhaar card will be compulsory from January 1 for access to every government service. The notice has left people confused for lakhs of Delhiites are yet to be enrolled under the Aadhaar programme.

On Saturday, Nandan Nilekani represented the UIDAI at the launch of Delhi Government's Annshree Yojana which is cited as the first Aadhaar UID-enabled scheme. He had informed the audience that Delhi has seen an enrollment of 1.30 crore people in Delhi and of this number UID numbers have been issued to around 1.20 crore. In all Delhi has an estimated population of about 1.67 crore. Thus over 35 lakh are yet to be enrolled.

The public notice put out by the department of revenue and the UIDAI states that "Aadhaar card is compulsory from January 1 for access to every government service". It goes on to point that Aadhaar ID will provide services like opening of a bank account, Annshree Yojana, new mobile connection, LPG connection, old age pension, BPL card and scholarship for students.

When TOI sought to know from revenue secretary Dharampal how UID can be made mandatory when lakhs are yet to be enrolled, he said that when people come to the offices of the revenue district for various kinds of registrations they will be asked to furnish their UID number. "If they don't have an ID, they %will be asked to enrol. For now certain revenue services are executing this on experiment basis," Dharampal said.

However, revenue minister Arvinder Singh, whose picture is present along with that of the chief minister on the notice, is less assertive on use of the word "compulsory". "We will ask for the UID number from January 1, but since not everyone is enrolled people will not be denied a service like pension or other social security benefits that will be Aadhaar-enabled," Singh said. He said in the months ahead the government will make %an attempt to link as many services as possible to Aadhaar and speed up the enrollments.
