aadhaar number

If you have not availed this free service linked to the Aadhar card, it will be too late otherwise. This free Aadhaar service will end on September 14. In fact, Aadhaar cards issued more than ten years ago and not updated subsequently will require identity and address proof documents for revalidation. Its last date has been set as September 14. After the deadline, the UIDAI will charge a fee of Rs 50 for any update.

In Aadhaar authentication, the Aadhaar number along with demographic or biometric information needs to be submitted to the UIDAI’s Central Identity Data Repository i.e. CIDR for verification. The UIDAI then certifies the accuracy of the data on the basis of the information available with it.

Aadhaar card controversy, CM Mamata Banerjee involved

In 2024, ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had alleged that Aadhaar cards of 50 citizens in Jamalpur in Purba Bardhaman and Birbhum district, North and South 24 Parganas, as well as several other citizens of North Bengal, had been forged. They were. They have been de-linked. Responding to Banerjee’s allegations, UIDAI said that no Aadhaar number has been cancelled. The authority stressed its commitment to resolving complaints and maintaining the integrity of the Aadhaar database. The Aadhar card was introduced in India on January 28, 2009. It also acts as an identity card in addition to many other documents like the PAN card and Voter ID card.
