One common problem that many citizens have reported is they are not receiving their Aadhaar cards in spite of having applied for the same. It is a problem mainly with those who had applied for an Aadhaar card during the initial enrolment days.
Sometimes, the delay may be due to the card not being printed (because of backlog/technical reasons) or maybe lost in transit. Further, the delivered cards are either wrongly encrypted or have incorrect information. But before lodging a complaint, you should keep in mind that it takes up to 3 months for the card to reach you.
Most importantly, after applying for an Aadhaar card, if an online Aadhaar status inquiry displays the card as ready and has been dispatched - even if your Aadhaar card is not received - you will be able to avail all the benefits under the Aadhaar program.
