Because of the inordinate delay in getting Aadhaar numbers many people domiciling in Chennai may have to shell out Rs 500 on every LPG cylinder and a few other benefits. The number is mandatory to avail benefits under the scheme. Only 30% of Chennaites have enrolled under the National Population Register (NPR), and half of them haven`t got the number.
Many residents who have enrolled with NPR and have not got the Aadhaar numbers fear they will lose subsidy for LPG cylinders.
UIDAI officials say that people need not worry about this because they can log on to the UIDAI website, enter their enrolment number and take a printout of the e-Aadhaar card which can be used for various schemes till the actual Aadhaar number arrives
