New Delhi, Sep. 5 (PTI): The UIDAI has given banks one more month to open Aadhaar enrol- ment centres in a stipulated 10 per cent of branches and will impose Rs 20,000 as fine per uncovered branch after September 30, CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey said on Tuesday.
The Unique Identification Au- thority of India (UIDAI), in July, had asked private as well as public banks to open Aadhaar enrolment and updation facility in one out of 10 branches by August-end. now been granted as many banks sought additional time from the authority for setting up such facility on their premises. “Banks approached us saying they need more time, so we have given them till September 30 to set up the facility. Non-compliance after the deadline will attract a fine of Rs 20,000 per uncovered branch every month,” Pandey told PTI. This means a bank with 100 branches will need to have Aadhaar enrolment facility in 10 branches. Failure to open the stipulated facility in, say, five branches even after expiry of the September 30 deadline, would mean that the bank will have to cough up penalty of Rs 1 lakh in the first month itself (at the rate of Rs 20,000 per uncov- ered branch). Similarly, the penalty will be imposed in subsequent months, also based on the branches that are left uncovered. Aadhaar, the 12-digit biometric identity number, is required for opening of bank accounts and financial transaction of Rs 50,000 and above. Existing bank account hold- ers too are required to furnish the Aadhaar number by December 31, 2017. “This (enrolment facility in bank premises) was done for con- venience of people. Given the requirement of linking Aadhaar with existing bank account and for new bank accounts, having the enrolment and updation facilities within the branches (10 per cent) will ensure that people do not face any difficulty,” Pandey explained the rationale. Many banks have informed the authority that the process of procuring biometric devices, cer- tification of enrolment operators and identifying enrolment agencies is still on. “We wanted to give banks a rea- sonable time to set up the required infrastructure, and one month is a reasonable time,” Pandey said, adding that he did not anticipate any further delay by banks to have the enrolment facilities in place. The PSU and private banks have been informed about the extension. There are 1,20,000 bank branches in the country and with this move, 12,000 Aadhaar enrol- ment and updation centres will have to be set up in those branches. Many banks are already reg- istrars, but they do not have en- rolment centres inside the bank premises on Tuesday. Dimapur, Sep. 5 (EMN): Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has expressed displeasure at the State government for holding the process of the ongoing SARDP project of 2 lanning Longleng- Changtongya road, Mon-Tamlu-Mer- angkong road, Phek-Pfutsero road and Zunheboto-Chakabama road in Nagaland. It may be recalled that the CA was entered between CE (PWD), Naga- land, and M/s Maytas-Gayatri (JV) in February 2011 with amount of Rs 1130.66 crore to be commence from February, 2011. However, due to seri- ous disputes arose between the contrac- tor and the authorities, the contractor abandoned the work. After series of litigations, Supreme Court of India had finally ordered the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to retender the contract by initiating fresh process. The court also directed the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and Government of Nagaland to ensure completion of the project within a pe- riod of three years and six months from January 11, 2017. As per the Supreme Court judge- ment dated January 11, 2017, the MoRTH and the State of Nagaland, have to ensure completion of the project within a period of 3 years and 6 months. The MoRTH was directed to conduct fresh tender of the project by following the contemplated procedure. The Supreme Court also directed the State government to make available encumbrance free land required for improvement of two lane highways. As per the authority of the NHID- CL, the MoRTH had prepared for re- tendering process but the State was yet to provide land encumbrance free clear- ance even after a lapse of 7 calendar months thereby forgoing one workable season. The NHIDCL was fully pre- pared to implement the project on EPC basis which will be transparent and no interference from any other authorities where jobs completion reports will be subjected to physical verification back by photography and visual evidences for any clearance to pay the contractors. It was of paramount importance for the State to give encumbrance free clearance, without which the project execution cannot proceed. Meanwhile, NTC has appreciated the State chief secretary for his assur- ance to expedite necessary process to give land encumbrances free clearance without any further delay. NTC also appreciated the authority of NHIDCL for preparedness and assurances to give priority to the project which is a lifeline for the citizens of the state. In the light of the above stated circumstances, NTC appealed to all concerned particularly the villages in the localities to give all possible coop- eration for smooth execution of work so that the work will be completed within the stipulated time frame.
