Amending regulation
Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Second Amendment Regulations, 2025
This amending instrument records 6 discrete changes to the principal regulations, covering deactivation on death, deactivation of mixed-biometric Aadhaars, removal of the “temporarily” qualifier in regulation 28(2), a new proviso in regulation 30(1), and a wholesale replacement of Form V in Schedule I. The substituted form body is too long to inline — see the source PDF.
