Bribe 100 for Aadhar Enrollment

Reported on December 14, 2016 from Mumbai , Maharashtra  ι Report #139960

I am posting this AGAIN as my earlier post for some reason went missing from this site.

I went to enrol for my kid since their school started demanding Aadhar card.

I searched up the Aadhar location on their site.
I found one Vakrangee kendra at Somwari Bazaar Malad W

Date 20-08-2016; 2pm
Somwari Bazar, Vakrangee center
near Masjid

When I went here, I was told that I will need to pay 100/- However, there is no receipt that was issued as I was told that for private operators, they can charge people for enrollment.

I recorded my grievances regd. this bribe with the UIDAI helpdesk email Id
I only got automated reference IDs but no resolution or response.

These automated mails which asked me for some information which I provided yet there was no reply.

Recently I checked the portal of UIDAI again to see if the specific site was listed still or any action was taken against it
I found that the center is not listed - at least the way I searched earlier, I am unable to locate it on the site - https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/easearch.aspx
This list keeps changing I noticed.

The surprising thing is that the specific location is still taking in enrollment of Aadhar and every day I see a small queue outside the centre.

So basically there is no action taken to stop the operator from operating this location.
Even if there is any action taken, it is not made public.

What is your reaction after reading this report?
