UIDAI deactivates over 2 crore Aadhaar IDs of deceased individuals
UIDAI just removed over two crore Aadhaar numbers belonging to people who have passed away, aiming to stop identity fraud and misuse of government benefits.
By working with data from the Registrar General and state governments, UIDAI is making sure national ID records stay accurate and secure.
Reporting deaths gets easier with myAadhaar portal
Now, families in 25 states and UTs can quickly report a loved one's passing online through the myAadhaar portal—just log in and enter the Aadhaar number along with the Death Registration Number.
The Ministry of Electronics and IT is encouraging everyone to use this service after getting a death certificate so that deactivation happens smoothly.
UIDAI is also looking at teaming up with banks to strengthen access to authenticated information on deceased persons.
