Applied for an Aadhaar card or update and still waiting? Many citizens face delays in Aadhaar enrollment, correction, or delivery. If you're stuck with no update, the RTI Act, 2005 can help you seek official answers from UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India).

RTI lets you:
✅ Track status of your Aadhaar application
✅ Ask for daily movement and officer-wise file progress
✅ Know the reason for delay and expected delivery date
