Have you heard the latest update about your Aadhaar card? A major change has been announced by the Government that could affect millions. According to the new rule, some people’s Aadhaar cards will soon be deactivated permanently. Why? To protect your identity, your data, and your family from fraud.
Aadhar Card New Rule: Why Some Aadhaar Cards Will Be Shut Down Forever
In recent years, there have been growing concerns about Aadhaar misuse, especially after a person passes away. Unfortunately, many fraudulent activities are carried out using the Aadhaar numbers of deceased individuals. Their identities are stolen and misused in online scams, property frauds, or even for creating fake documents.
That’s why the Government of India is now taking a major step to ensure this doesn’t happen anymore.
As part of the Aadhaar Card Rule 2025, it will now become mandatory to deactivate the Aadhaar card of any person who has passed away. If the Aadhaar remains active after someone’s death, it could be exploited by cybercriminals and fraudsters.
Aadhaar Card Deactivation After Death: What You Need to Know
According to sources and ongoing discussions across media and social platforms, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) is planning to implement this rule across the nation. If an individual has passed away and their Aadhaar hasn’t been updated or marked as inactive, it will be automatically deactivated in the near future.
This step is part of the Government’s broader initiative to:
- Prevent online frauds
- Stop identity theft
- Ensure data privacy of citizens
- Promote responsible use of Aadhaar-linked services
How Can You Deactivate a Deceased Person’s Aadhaar Card?
If you’ve recently lost a loved one, we know the pain is unimaginable. But in these emotional times, it’s also important to make sure their identity is not misused.
- The Government has made the deactivation process simple:
- Visit your nearest Aadhaar Seva Kendra or Registrar’s Office
- Submit a death certificate and related documents
- Request for the Aadhaar number to be deactivated permanently
Why This Rule Is a Game Changer
This new Aadhaar update isn’t just about rules and regulations. It’s about building a safer future. By making Aadhaar more secure, the Government is strengthening its commitment to every citizen’s digital safety.
Until now, many people didn’t even know that the Aadhaar of a deceased person could still be used by others. But with this law, the loophole will finally be closed.
So if your grandparents, parents, or relatives have passed away, don’t delay — check the status of their Aadhaar and deactivate it if necessary.
