Aadhaar Card New Rules: These 3 Major Changes Coming Into Effect From November 1

Aadhaar Card New Rules: If you want to update information on your Adhaar Card then now you will not have to go to enrollment center as you can do this by sitting at home.  This facility has been introduced to make Aadhaar easier and safer. Along with this, linking Aadhaar with PAN card has also become mandatory now. If you do not do this, your PAN card may become inactive. The primary update allows you to conveniently update your Aadhaar information online from home, eliminating the need to visit an Aadhaar center. The provided information, such as name or address, will be automatically verified against government documents like PAN, passport, driving license, or ration card, ensuring a fast, easy, and secure process. This change is applicable from November 1,2025.
