The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will urge Aadhaar card holders to voluntarily update their biometric data every 10 years. According to a report, authorities have claimed that the government body will gradually force people to update their face and fingerprint scans linked to their Aadhaar card. According to reports, anyone above the age of 70 will be spared from the prompt. Children from five to fifteen are currently obliged to update their biometrics. Enrollment in Aadhaar for children under the age of five is based on the child's face image and biometric identification of the parent or guardian.
According to PTI, citing government sources, the UIDAI would urge people to voluntarily update their biometrics and demography data every ten years. This may encourage people to update their Aadhaar cards over time. The government will not push Aadhaar card users over the age of 70 to update their information.
Except for a small number of persons in Meghalaya, Nagaland, and Ladakh, Aadhaar custodian UIDAI is said to have enrolled virtually all adults in India. According to the research, Aadhaar registration in Meghalaya began late due to the NRC (National Register of Citizens) problem, while isolated areas in Nagaland and Ladakh remain untapped.
According to the official, the Aadhaar saturation percentage among adult inhabitants is currently approaching universal, and the total saturation level is 93.65 percent. According to the statistics, the total number of new students enrolled in August was merely 24.2 lakh.
Biometrics are not yet gathered for Aadhaar enrollment of children under the age of five. Instead, younger children are enrolled by the UIDAI using a face scan and biometric verification of the parent or guardian. However, children aged five to fifteen years must provide their biometrics at an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
