Get Aadhaar Card corrected under OTC-One Time Correction Camapgin

In the year 2009, the UIDAI came into existence for issuance Aadhaar ID's to all the Indian Residents. It was a mammoth task. The Government entrusted the enrollment job to privately managed Enrollment Agencies who did not bother to punch the important data of the citizens properly in an effort to make a quick buck to garner a few thousand crores from the GOI for accomplishing the mammoth task in a hurry. The following type of mistakes crept into the Aadhaar Cards issued to a big population of more than 100 crores:

Discrepancies in Names

• Most of the names were got verified from Voter Cards (EPIC) which are generally issued by State Governments in regional languages like Punjabi in Punjab, Hindi in Haryana and Tamil in Tamil Nadu. Spelling mistakes crept in the Aadhaar Cards for example Kuldeep Singh and Kuldip Singh are similarly spelled in Punjabi whereas in English the name can be written in two ways which can pose problems while getting PAN Card, Passport, Educational Degree and Certificates, Pension Payment Orders and Employer ID Cards etc as the rules say:

Minor change in name - change in name because of spelling discrepancy between passport and documents Which phonetically do not result in total change in name. Moreover different names in different Identity Proofs can pose difficult situations.

• While getting yourself enrolled for Aadhaar the citizens must ensure that the name matches with the name mentioned in your educational degree, employer ID card, Pension Payment Order and there is no mismatch. As regards PAN Card and Voter ID Card the names can be easily got corrected at Samadhan Kender.

Discrepancies in Date of Birth:

• DOB is a very important issue and needs to handled with utmost care. Birth Registrations are mandatory within 21 days of birth with the local registrar. Following type of discrepancies have been noticed in various ID Proofs:

1. Voter ID Cards often display approximate age which is totally unreliable and can not be accepted as valid proof of Date of Birth or Proof of Age to avail the Benefits available to Senior Citizens.
2. Most of the Aadhaar Card have Date of Birth (Declared) which is not accepted anywhere as Date of Birth (Verified) is only valid proof of DOB.
3. PAN Cards can be issued with Date of Birth declared and sworn before a judicial magistrate but can not be treated as valid Proof of Date of Birth.
4. SSC/Matriculation/Secondary School certificate date of birth is a valid proof of date of birth but if the Date of Birth is on or after 26/01/1989 then Birth Registration is the sole Proof of Date of Birth.

While getting enrolled for Aadhaar the citizens are advised to get the Date of Birth (Verified) status on the basis of Birth Certificate, Passport or SSC/Matric/Secondary School Certificate. It is in your own interest to check and match the correctness of personal particulars on all proof of identity lest you get puzzled at a later stage. Personal Particulars mean your Name, Father Name, Grand Father Name, Mother Name, Place of Birth, Date of Birth correctly spelled with no mismatch.

Discrepancies in Name of Father or Mother

The above 4 points hold good for the ID Proofs of your Father, Mother or ancestors.

Discrepancies in Proof of Address

Holder of ID Cards like PAN, PRAN, Voter ID, Aadhaar, Bank Pass Book are advised in their own interest to keep on updating their New Address, Mobile Number and Email ID to have an uninterrupted access to their accounts. Updating of Address in various ID Cards is very simple. You can visit Samadhan Kender to get your address, mobile number or email ID updated in your Aadhaar ID on the basis of which it becomes easy to get the address updated in other ID Proofs.

Insurance Centre opens at Samadhan Kender

You might have taken Life Insurance from reputed insurance companies through nationalized government sector banks and private banks who have tie up arrangements with different insurance companies to sell their products just to earn commission. But what happens after you have taken the Insurance Cover? Just look at these astonishing facts:

One of the leading nationalized bank entered into "Tie up Arrangement" with Reliance General Insurance Company and the bank cancelled the tie up arrangement with in 2 years due to difference. Now the customers who had taken the Reliance Cover searched for the local office of Reliance General Insurance Company and they were surprised to note that there was no office of the company in Rajpura and even to pay the premiums the customers had to visit either Patiala or Chandigarh offices of the company.

One of the customers took the HDFC Life cover through HDFC Bank but when the customer went to the HDFC bank to deposit the renewal premium the banker told that it can be deposited only with HDFC Life office at Patiala. 

There are hundreds of cases where the customers feel cheated as they do not find any office of the above reputed insurance companies in small villages and towns.

Get Back your Income Tax Deducted at Source by Banks

Only yesterday a retired senior citizen visited Samadhan Kender to inform that the Bank had deducted 20% TDS from interest paid on his fixed deposits whereas he had duly submitted his PAN number to the Bank. 

When asked if he had taken any receipt from the Bank for having submitted his PAN, he answered in negative. Actually what happened ? The dealing clerk forgot to attache the PAN number in his customer ID and in the absence of PAN, the bank's finacle system deducted 20% TDS instead of normal TDS of 10%. Moreover the form 15-G submitted by him were also not accepted by the system in the absence of PAN Number.

The bank people rudely asked the senior citizen to get back the TDS from income tax department as they had no means to bring back the TDS already remitted to the Income Tax Department. The pensioner went to a learned Chartered Accountant to get back the TDS but the CA demanded huge fees. The pensioner felt cheated at the hands of his Banker, who forgot to add PAN number in his FD's with the Bank.

Our team at Samadhan Kender heard the whole story with patience and advised the old fellow to submit the PAN number and Form 15-G against proper receipt from the Bank so that he does not suffer again due to irresponsible attitude of the banker. We also advised that to get back the TDS, he will have to file IT Return for which he should not make hurry as before filing the IT Return we will have to check up his 26AS with TDS deducted at source. When our team members made a profile of the pensioner on Income Tax website we were astonished to find that TDS had been deducted in the previous years 2014-15 and 2013-14 also. We advised the hapless fellow that Tax pertaining to period prior to 31-03-2014 can not be claimed but TDS deducted during 2014-15 can be got refunded by filing IT return. On the request of the senior citizen, we  filed the IT return and assured him that all the TDS wrongly deducted by the Bank will land in his account as refund. He heaved a sigh of relief and thanked the Team at Samadhan Kender.
