UIDAI splits Aadhaar name changes into minor and major cases
In short
UIDAI has changed Aadhaar name update rules. It now splits name changes into minor and major cases, and each case needs different proof, affidavit and Gazette papers.
This matters for people who need to fix or update their Aadhaar names. The report does not say when the rules start or exactly which documents are needed for each case.
What the reporting says
UIDAI has split Aadhaar name changes into minor and major categories, with different proof, affidavit and Gazette requirements, according to a publisher summary. The change appears to affect how applicants document name corrections and updates. The reporting does not state when the rules take effect, which documents apply to each category, or whether fees or deadlines changed.
Why it matters
UIDAI has revised Aadhaar name change rules by splitting requests into minor and major categories, each with different proof, affidavit and Gazette requirements. This affects people applying for Aadhaar corrections or updates. The summary does not specify the effective date, exact document lists or any fee change, so the practical impact is partly unknown.
