Indian State may extend Aadhaar deadline

KOLKATA: Direct change in LPG subsidies to Aadhaar-linked accounts for Bengal's customers might be deferred from Feb 1 to April 1, when the Mamata Banerjee government has its own way.

Since over fifty percent the populace are yet obtain 12-digit unique identification (UID) number, uncertainty looms over availing the cooking gas subsidy.

Chief secretary Sanjay Mitra has known as an urgent situation meeting, which is attended by reps from the Union secretary of state for oil and gas, the Registrar General asia, Center and condition census authorities, condition home secretary Basudeb Banerjee, food commissioner Anil Verma, finance secretary H K Dwivedi, the customer goods director and reps in the banking sector, in the Writers' Structures on Wednesday.

"We're searching in a two-month postponement from the direct benefit transfer (DBT) roll-out by then which period hopefully to pay for the utmost quantity of receivers. The problem is going to be bashed by helping cover their the Union oil ministry authorities at tomorrow's meeting," condition home secretary Basudeb Banerjee told TOI on Tuesday.

Also, he stated, "There's not a way we are able to satisfy the Feb 1 deadline, so no reason speaking about this. A 2-month leeway is going to be enough to kick-start DBT in Bengal."

Bengal has already been lagging in UID enrolment - work was delayed for 3-and-a-half several weeks for that panchayat elections. Very little was completed in September either due to the municipal elections. And today, another month is going to be lost to festivities.

The condition government has carefully focused on the April 1 extended deadline since it's already held a Feb 28 deadline for giving Aadhaar amounts.

Also, the brand new fiscal will be the most suitable here we are at applying DBT, authorities stated.

Tardy progress in biometric enrolment (taking photos of and checking from the iris and all sorts of 10 fingers) in Bengal is a bone of contention even while the program supplied by the initial Identification Authority asia (UIDAI) has put into the delay. The DBT plan is intended for five districts - Cooch Behar, Hooghly, Howrah, South Dinajpur and Kolkata where around 60% from the receivers happen to be covered - within the first phase.

The Mamata Banerjee government appears to possess woken as much as the crisis finally. Right after the Union oil ministry introduced on September 8 to deposit LPG subsidy in consumers' accounts from November 1 and latest by Feb 1, a conference with district magistrates (DMs) was organised in the Writers' a week ago. However the most pressing problem - DBT - didn't estimate the discussions even while the DMs were advised to accomplish the job by Feb 28.

"That meeting was organised through the home department, which only coordinates using the condition census directorate which accounts for giving the Aadhaar number underneath the National Population Register (NPR) programme. The house department isn't accountable for handling the DBT or even the plan to transfer LPG subsidies to consumers' accounts. Because the food department handles cooking gas, the onus of applying DBT (change in cooking gas subsidy) is in it. It's now occurred the nodal department to do the job,Inch described a senior official.

Because of the red-colored-tape, the very first significant step towards covering increasing numbers of people in Bengal under UID - to ensure that customers could possibly get their Aadhaar-linked accounts -is going to be adopted Wednesday.

A senior food department official stated, "Let's wait and watch what emerges from Wednesday's meeting. Because the chief secretary and every one of us come in direct dialogue using the oil ministry, the banking sector and all sorts of stakeholders, it will likely be simpler to chalk the strategy.Inch

Concern over poor Aadhar enrolment

BHUBANESWAR: Among growing concern over poor enrolment for 'Aadhar', the initial identity number, chief secretary, Jugal Kishore Mohapatra, includes a known as a conference of authorities concerned here on September 21. The identification number is required for direct benefits transfer (DBT) plan, that the Union government has made the decision to produce in four districts of Odisha from November 1.

Sources within the Directorate of Census Procedures here, which supervises the information collection process, stated biometric data close to 56 lakh individuals have been collected during these four districts, where DBT is scheduled to become folded out to cook gas, against a specific population of 75 lakh. Around 15 lakh of those 56 lakh individuals have really got the Aadhar cards, as the relaxation continue to be waiting for it.

The main secretary will measure the situation in the ending up in the authorities of finance, food and civil supplies and Census.

The Electronics Corporation asia Limited (ECIL), the PSU hired to gather the biometric data for that Census government bodies, has enrolled 13 lakh individuals Balangir district against an qualified population of 15 lakh.

It's collected biometric information of 18 lakh people against 23 lakh target population in Cuttack and 12 lakh in Puri from the target of 17 lakh. 13 lakh from 20 lakh in Khurda happen to be enrolled. The greatest worry for that government is that lots of individuals already enrolled are becoming messages their programs happen to be declined because of "data/process error. Please re-enroll."

The Union government has made the decision to create LPG subsidy during these four districts under DBT to start with. Right after, 30 different central schemes can come under DBT in Puri, Cuttack and Balangir districts and 29 schemes (excluding LPG) in Sonepur district. For Khurda, only LPG can come underneath the DBT according to the present plan.

Based on the norms, the Census government bodies will need to capture data of three.78 crore population (all individuals above 5 years old) within the condition. Of these, it's already taken biometric data close to 2.11 crore. As on September 9, the initial Identification Authority asia (UIDAI) has processed data close to one crore and released Aadhar cards to some meagre 30 lakh people, sources stated.

The sources stated data of individuals persons enrolled two times appears to become showing errors. The confusion might be because UIDAI had taken the information of many people through private agencies hired because of it as the Census government bodies began collecting exactly the same information once more through different agencies.

Census government bodies stated steps are now being come to cover the whole qualified population within the DBT districts on the priority basis.

"We're planning the 2nd phase of biometric enrolment in DBT districts on priority to make sure that all persons get Aadhar amounts prior to the condition of DBT on LPG. We'll also expedite the information collection in other districts," stated director (Census) Bishnupada Sethi.

Based on the norms, the Census government bodies will need to capture data of three.78 crore population (all individuals above 5 years old) within the condition. Of these, it's already taken biometric data close to 2.11 crore

However, the recommendations for that clients with reticulated supply continue to be looked forward to," a senior official from Bharat Gas stated. The organization has nearly 50 communities within the city where it offers gas with the reticulated system.

"We're flooded with inquiries but we're baffled. We've elevated the problem using the senior citizens, but it's for that government to determine. There a sophistication duration of three several weeks from November 2013, through which the accounts and Aadhaar needs to be linked. We're sure you will see some decision at that time,Inch the state stated.

Delays and sudden cancellation worry LPG consumers in Hyderabad

HYDERABAD: Denizens within the city are getting a harrowing time dealing with gas distribution agencies as postponed shipping, sudden cancellations as well as in worse cases extortion tactics through the delivery staff are which makes it frightening for LPG customers to even get a cylinder in your own home.

LPG customers stated delays are frequently without intimation as well as stretches for any month as well as delays over subsidy amount disbursement. "The booking I made on September 4 was cancelled without warning on September 12. I had been requested to reserve another cylinder," stated T Karunaker, a homeowner of Meerpet.

After I asked using the oil company's customer service I had been told the total amount continues to be disbanded. However when I checked with my bank, the total amount hadn't showed up," he stated, adding he provided his bank particulars towards the gas agency well ahead of time.

Online consumer forums are flooded with lots of such complaints but civil supply authorities say there's an abundance of cylinder supply and also the delays are inexplicable. "We received one drawback in the Old City about postponed delivery and therefore are verifying it. We can't do much within the disbursement of subsidy because it is underneath the charge of oil companies," a Hyderabad district civil supplies official stated.
