The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has officially denied reports claiming that the Aadhaar card will be redesigned to feature only a user's photo and a QR code. These rumors, which circulated widely on social media, suggested the changes were meant to combat identity theft and data leaks. MeitY clarified that such information is incorrect and aims to create confusion among the public. The ministry urged citizens to disregard these claims and to refer only to official communications from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Additionally, UIDAI has stated that while Aadhaar is recognized as a proof of identity, it is not valid as proof of date of birth, as specified in the Aadhaar Act, 2016. The UIDAI continues to address misinformation regarding Aadhaar and encourages the public to verify facts through official channels.
