Aadhar News
Aadhaar cards will henceforth bear date of birth of the holder, facilitating people to avail benefits of several government and non-governmental schemes which require age validation.
Till now, only year of birth was mentioned in the card, but now, it has been agreed in-principle to insert the date of birth, said city-based RTI activist Avinash Prabhune, who pursued the matter with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and its chief Nandan Nilekani.
All assurances gave an impression that by using Aadhaar (Unique Identity Card), one will not be required to carry any other identity card for availing service benefits from various service providers. Also, limitations of other cards issued earlier will be eliminated by the UID.
However, Aadhaar cards were issued without date of birth, although documentary evidence in this regard was submitted at the time of enrollment, making it difficult for individuals to claim benefits where age proof is required to be submitted or established during physical transactions.
