UIDAI's New Name Correction Rules for Aadhaar Card: What You Need to Know?

The Aadhaar card is one of the most important identity cards in India and is necessary when you want to access government schemes and programs. But if something was wrong with the data on the Aadhaar card, then serious obstacles appear. To curb fraud, the UIDAI has tightened measures for correcting any name in the ID. In the following article, you will find information on the current process, documents that you will need, and recent changes in the related services.

Why Were The Name Correction Rules Made Stricter?

The new rules are therefore designed to curb malicious and fraudulent practices associated with Aadhaar card information.

• False identity in the Aadhaar card has become one major issue as people engaged in the act of changing their names on the card.

• With official notifications and additional ID proof, UIDAI makes sure that only changes are made that are correct.

What Are The Principles For Address Updates Simplified?

UIDAI enhanced the mechanism of changing addresses in the Aadhaar cards so that everyone could update it easily.

1. Public Sector Bank Passbooks:

You can now use your passbook from any of the public sector banks as documentary proof for address change.

2. Hassle-Free Process:

Updating addresses no longer involves complex procedures that need a lot of documents.

What Measures Has The TRAI Taken To Fight Fraud?

TRAI has taken steps to make the system more track-capable and has made arrangements to minimise the factors that pose threats to online scams in the telecommunications business.

1. Message Traceability:

Telecom companies must peep into the background of the commercials and OTPs to warrant them as genuine.

2. Extended Deadline:

These measures have been set to be put into practice no later than November 31, 2024, due to the appeals of the key telecom operators.
