As per regulation 12 of the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Regulations, 2016, the Department, through its Implementing Agency, is required to offer Aadhaar enrolment facilities for the beneficiaries who are not yet enrolled for Aadhaar and in case there is no Aadhaar enrolment center located in the respective District, Sub-Division or Block, the Department through its Implementing Agency shall provide Aadhaar enrolment facilities at convenient locations in coordination with the existing Registrars of UIDAI or by becoming a UIDAI Registrar themselves.
Provided that till the time Aadhaar is assigned to the individual, benefits under the Schemes shall be given to such individual, subject to the production of the following documents, namely -
If he/she has enrolled, his/her Aadhaar Enrolment Identification slip and
Any one of the following documents, namely: -

Provided further that the above documents may be checked by an officer specifically designated by the Department for that purpose -
in case the biometric authentication through fingerprints or iris scan, or face authentication is not successful, wherever feasible and admissible authentication by Aadhaar One Time Password or Time-based One-Time Password with limited time validity, as the case may be, shall be offered
in all other cases where biometric or Aadhaar One Time Password or Time-based One-Time Password authentication is not possible, benefits under the Schemes may be given on the basis of a physical Aadhaar letter whose authenticity can be verified through the Quick Response (QR) code printed on the Aadhaar letter and the necessary arrangement of QR code reader shall be provided at the convenient locations by the Department through its Implementing Agency.
