According to reports, banks had been given a target of logging 16 enrolments daily at 10% of their branches. From 1 July 2018, this has been reduced to eight a day, a report from Press Trust of India (PTI) says quoting a circular issued by the UIDAI. It also said that banks which achieve the fresh targets for July will not have to face “financial disincentives” up to that month.

"This target has to be met by banks in three phases. As per the circular, which has been seen by PTI, these targets will be raised to minimum of 12% per day per branch from 1 October 2018, and to 16 from January 2019. These numbers will be seen on a cumulative basis against the total target of the bank," the report says.

An official from the government also told PTI, “In case a bank fails to meet the target of carrying out minimum enrolment or updation per day per branch, financial disincentive in respect of uncovered branches as on last day of the month will be levied from July 2018 onward.

Who is my regulator? Banks ask after UIDAI threat

"This trend of setting daily targets is ridiculous. Our designated branches are ready with the Aadhaar enrolment facility but we can't force customers to do it," a bank CEO told the daily. Many others are questioning how the UIDAI can threaten to penalise banks - bypassing the RBI - when it is not a regulator.

The UIDAI, on the other hand, claims it is well within its rights. "UIDAI is free to take action as per provisions of the Aadhaar Act 2016," the body said in one of its recent communications.

If more than 119Cr have already enrolled before March 2018, then how can banks enroll more citizens at such a steady rate?
