Last year the government said if any operator was found overcharging for Aadhaar services would be suspended and the registrar who appointed him would face a penalty of ₹50,000.
"Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has placed an obligation on all Aadhaar operators not to overcharge for Aadhaar services including the update of biometric and demographic details," Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar said in Parliament.
"However, if any report on overcharging is received, the same is enquired and if established, a financial penalty of ₹50,000 is imposed on the enrolment registrar concerned and the operator is suspended," Chandrasekhar said.
He said persons can lodge their grievances with UIDAI through email or call the toll-free number 1947.
