BLS E-Services Limited, to introduce doorstep Aadhaar enrolment and update services
Chandigarh: In a significant move to promote inclusivity, the Department of Food and Civil Supplies, Government of Punjab, has joined forces with BLS International Services Limited, the parent company of BLS E-Services Limited, to introduce doorstep Aadhaar enrolment and update services. This initiative is designed to assist children, individuals with disabilities, bedridden patients, senior citizens, and other vulnerable groups who face challenges in visiting Aadhaar enrolment centres.
Under this program, eligible residents can now enrol for an Aadhaar card or update their existing Aadhaar details from the comfort of their homes. The process is seamless: BLS E-Services officials will visit residents’ homes, set up mobile enrolment stations, and guide them through the necessary procedures. Residents are required to submit a duly filled Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Form along with original supporting documents, which are verified and returned immediately.
Mr. Shikhar Agarwal, Chairman of BLS E-Services and Joint Managing Director of BLS International, stated, “At BLS, we are dedicated to advancing digital inclusion for all citizens, irrespective of their physical limitations or geographical location. Through this doorstep Aadhaar enrolment service, we aim to empower vulnerable communities—such as the elderly, bedridden individuals, and those with disabilities—to actively participate in India’s digital transformation. Our goal is to make essential services like Aadhaar universally accessible, enabling every citizen to contribute to the nation’s growth and progress.”
The officials will capture essential details, including demographic information, fingerprints, iris scans, and a facial photograph, using the Aadhaar Client Software. Upon completion, residents will receive an Aadhaar Enrolment or Update Receipt, and their Aadhaar card will be delivered to their registered address within three to nine weeks.
This initiative is particularly impactful for residents in rural areas, where access to traditional enrolment centres is limited. The doorstep service is expected to benefit hundreds of thousands of individuals, ensuring that vulnerable populations, including the elderly and disabled, are not excluded from India’s digital transformation.
With its extensive infrastructure and widespread presence across Punjab, BLS E-Services is well-positioned to execute this initiative at scale. The company’s network of agents will ensure that even the most remote areas are covered, making Aadhaar enrolment services accessible to all.
As Aadhaar enrolments are projected to exceed 1.3 billion by 2025, this initiative is a critical step in ensuring that vulnerable populations can access vital government services without barriers, fostering a more inclusive and digitally empowered society.
