UIDAI's backend systems fired up for mega updation drive
The HinduUIDAI's infrastructure is all geared up to take on fresh updation loads as massive public outreach is being activated to urge people to update documents if their Aadhaar was issued more than 10 years back, government sources said. In a statement this week, UIDAI — the government agency that issues Aadhaar numbers — said, "Any person who had got their Aadhaar made 10 years back and not updated the information in any of the subsequent years are being requested to do document updation". The updation drive initiated now for Aadhaar issued 10 years back relates to the updation of demographic information and do not involve biometric update. While 134 crore Aadhaar numbers have been issued till date, just how many Aadhaar holders will have to update their information after UIDAI's latest request, is not known immediately.
