For enrolling the residence under AADHAR an Enrollment Agency was engaged and the Agency after collecting the photography and Bio- metric details uploaded the data through internet in the Central Server at TECH Centre, Bangalore. The TECH Centre accepts the uploaded data through a de-duplication protocol to eliminate the double Enrollment by a residence so as to issue Unique Number to a residence. After the process of the de-duplication, AADHAR cards are regenerated by a random system. That is why the AADHAR cards are not received family wise or area wise. All the residence who is enrolled shall receive the cards in due course of time through the Post office directly atthe address recorded at the time of enrolment, the Director (CS&CA) said in a communication today.
