How to get Aadhaar Card?

Aadhaar Card
  With the government making Aadhaar Card (unique identification card) mandatory in procuring LPG connections, issuing passports, sale or purchase of houses, opening a PF account or withdrawing your provident fund, opening a bank account, etc, the queue of people waiting to lay their hands on the card seems to be getting longer and longer.


How to get the card:

Aadhaar card enrollment is free and you need to enroll only once as an individual is entitled for only one card.

* You can go to any authorized Aadhaar enrollment center anywhere in India with your identity and address proof.

* UIDAI process accepts Proof of Identity and 33 Proof of Address documents. Common proofs of identity and address are election photo ID card, Ration card, passport and driving license.

* Photo ID cards like PAN card and government ID cards are permissible for identity proof. Address proof documents also include water - electricity - telephone bills from the last three months.

* In case you do not have above mentioned proofs, certificate of identify having photo issued by Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar on letterhead is also accepted as proof of identity

* Certificate of address having photo issued by MP or MLA /Gazetted Officer/Tehsildar on letterhead or by Village Panchayat head or its equivalent authority (for rural areas) is accepted as valid proof of address.

* If someone in your family does not have individual valid documents, the resident can still enrol if his/her name exists in family entitlement document.

* Where there are no documents available, residents may also take the help of 'Introducers' at the enrolment centre. The Introducers are notified by the registrar.

* At the enrollment center, your photo, finger-prints and iris scan will also be taken as a part of the enrollment.

* You need to enrol only once. Enrolling again is a waste of your time as you will get only one Aadhaar number.

* Based on the information provided, your details will be verified and If the application is successful, an Aadhaar number will be generated and mailed to your address.

* The waiting time for Aadhaar may vary from 60-90 days after receipt of resident data packets.

* Click here for the list of documents that can be submitted as proof of identity and address.

* After enrolment, quality checks are done by the enrolment centre supervisors, followed by correction process (where required) and data packet consolidation.

* Subsequently, the Enrolment Agency sends the data to UIDAI data centre. The data undergoes various stages of screening and validations in CIDR. This ensures that the source of data is authenticated besides ensuring that no duplicate exists. 

* Sample quality checks are done on demographic and biometric data collected from residents. 

* Apart from that the operator/supervisor/introducer/enrolment agency and registrar, information in each packet is also validated. Only after passing the data quality checks and other validations, the packet goes for de-duplication and Aadhaar gets generated.

* In case of any errors, the packet goes on hold. For example, if the particulars of the operator who enrolled the resident are found to be inconsistent with database or there is a mismatch observed in photo and age/gender (e.g. a child's photo with age mentioned as 50 years), then the packet is held for further enquiry. 

* Corrective actions are taken on such packets, wherever possible, else a rejection letter guiding resident to re-enroll is dispatched to the resident. 

India Post is entrusted with the responsibility of printing and delivery of Aadhaar letters. Depending on backlog for generation, location of delivery etc. 

* India Post may ordinarily take 3-5 weeks to print and deliver Aadhaar letters to the residents.

Benefits of an Aadhar card

* The unique identification or Aadhaar project would result in saving of about Rs 110,000 crore by 2020 (around 58 per cent of expenditure of major public welfare schemes), a Planning Commission study released said.

* By providing a clear proof of identity, Aadhaar will empower the underprivileged residents in accessing services such as the formal banking system and give them the opportunity to easily avail various other services provided by the government and the private sector.

Cricket to miss Mr.Cricket!

Mike Hussey
  Mr.Cricket one last time in test arena to represent Australian cricket team for New year's test against Srilanka.  Mike Hussey who announced his retirement yesterday said that 4th test against Srilanka will be his last test. Mike Hussey who has been called as Mr.Consistent, Mr.Cricket over the years played as a middle order pillar for his team.  

  A one of great finisher for Australia after the departure of Michale Bhevan, Mike Hussey entered into test arena after scoring loads of runs in domestic carrier, debuted against West Indies in 2005.  From that on he has become an integral part of Australia's test side who saved matches for his team.

  Even in ODI and T20 format he finishes the match for his team.  He is a kind of player who used to construct his innings, back himself and finally ensure victory for his team.  His absence will leave a huge gap in Australia's test side.  Former Australian played thought that his retirement come at wrong time especially before tour against India and for Ashes in England next year.  Anyway, he retires on a high notch of his game, unlike ponting.

  Michael Hussey's announcement of his retirement has shocked many former's. On twitter, they all praised the achievements of Mr. Cricket. 

Tom Moody: @TomMoodyCricket 
Congrats Michael Hussey, an outstanding career true winner that worked as hard as anyone I've had the pleasure to play with or coach #class 

Mickey Arthur: @MickeyArthur 
Was shocked when Huss told me of his decision-he will retire a champion. 

Jason Gillespie: @YCCCDizzy 
Huss, all the best pal! You deserve a strong send off at the SCG. Finish with a win! #respect #qualityplayer #qualitybloke 

Glenn Maxwell: @Gmaxi_32 
Also can't believe mr cricket announced his retired!! Feel privileged to have played with him & be there for his last test! 

Travis Birt: @T_Bird81 
Rubbish day for cricket. Passing of a legend and retirement of Mr Cricket. #RIPTonyGreig

Which is the Most Favorite Color We Choose for our Cars


When they say it’s as simple as white, it doesn’t mean it’s boring.
White Colored Car
In fact, white remains as the most favored automotive color globally, according to a recent survey by paint company PPG Industries.
According to the survey, released last October 10, some 22 percent of respondents said they prefer white, followed by silver with 20 percent. Black is at third with 19 percent, grey at 12 percent, red at nine percent, and natural at eight percent. Other colors, including green, are placed at one percent.
On the other hand, white is tied with silver as the most popular automotive color in the Asia Pacific region with 23 percent for each. Black is the next most popular color in the region at 19 percent, followed by natural with 10 percent, red with nine percent, gray with eight percent, and blue with seven percent. Green is still in the bottom rung with only one percent.
There are no indications as to the reasons for the color preference. However, the previous 2011 survey showed that most of the respondents said that color is a factor in their automotive purchase decisions. In addition, buyers of premium vehicles would put more value on cars with the color of their choice.
PPG Manager Jane Harrington said that the automotive segment continues to be influenced by culture, nature, fashion, interior design, among others. “Our consumer research has clearly shown that color is critically important to car buyers.”
The survey was presented during the annual Automotive Color Trend Show in Michigan last September. PPG Industries also showed 64 new colors, which are targeted at everything from electronic devices, automotive, heavy industries, to homes and commercial businesses.
