NEW DELHI: The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has deactivated over two crore Aadhaar numbers belonging to deceased individuals as part of a nationwide clean-up drive to strengthen the accuracy and reliability of the Aadhaar database.Officials said the exercise is aimed at preventing identity fraud and ensuring that govt benefits linked to Aadhaar are accessed only by eligible beneficiaries. According to UIDAI, the deactivation process draws on data sourced from the Registrar General of India (RGI), state and Union Territory administrations, the public distribution system, the National Social Assistance Programme and other departments that maintain death-registration records. UIDAI emphasises that Aadhaar numbers are never reassigned, even after the holder’s death, making timely deactivation crucial to avoid potential misuse – such as unauthorised withdrawals, fraudulent benefit claims or impersonation. “Ensuring the database remains current is essential for the integrity of Aadhaar-linked services,” an official said.To make the process easier for families, UIDAI earlier this year launched a digital facility on the myAadhaar portal.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos“Being Examined”: MEA On Dhaka’S Request To Extradite Sheikh Hasina”There Was No Fear on His Face”: Survivor Recounts Trauma of Mumbai 26/11 AttacksPakistan On Edge As Imran Khan’s Sisters Assaulted At Jail And Social Media Fuels Death Speculation’Spur Of The Moment’: Former CJI Gavai Reacts To Shoe-Attack Attempt, Reveals Why He Took No Action’No Amount of Denial’ Will Change Arunachal’s Status: India’s BOLD Response To China Over Border Row’No Moral Standing’: India Slams Pakistan’s Rant On Ayodhya Event, Calls Out Bigotry And RepressionKhawaja Asif Admits Pakistan Can’t Trust Taliban As Deadly Border Strikes Trigger New FlashpointFormer CJI B.R.

Why Ask Voters For Enumeration Forms: Sibal NEW DELHI: Supreme Court on Wednesday emphatically said the Election Commission is statutorily and constitutionally empowered to conduct the pan-India Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and that it would not stall the process, while assuring that it would order corrective measures, if any irregularities were brought to its notice.CJI Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi rejected arguments questioning the justification of SIR, with the former saying not a single objection was filed against the updation of electoral rolls after the process was fine-tuned at the apex court’s instance.Appearing for RJD MP Manoj Jha, senior advocate Kapil Sibal commenced arguments questioning SIR’s constitutional validity, saying there are millions of illiterate people who can’t fill voter enumeration forms, which have become a tool for exclusion.”Why should a voter be asked to fill an enumeration form at all? Who is EC to determine whether a person is an Indian citizen or not? Aadhaar card mentions the place of residence and date of birth, which should be enough for persons above 18 years to get enrolled as voters if they give a self-declaration that they are Indian citizens,” Sibal argued.CJI Kant said, “Sibal, you have experience of contesting elections in Delhi, where many people do not vote. But in rural areas, elections are a festival. There, everyone is concerned about their votes. A maximum number of people participate, and everyone knows who a resident of the village is.”CJI cites Bihar, says no impact on groundSenior advocate Kapil Sibal said such an exercise had never been conducted in India because the ethos of our ‘Poorna Swaraj’ mantra from the freedom struggle days was inclusionary, not exclusionary. Justice Bagchi said, “It is a matter of record that in 2012 and 2014, the number of voters exceeded the total adult population. Is it not necessary to correct the electoral roll? If EC has a doubt about someone’s citizenship, is it not entitled to inquire about it? If EC carries out an aggressive revision of the electoral roll, there will be deletions.”CJI Kant said the SIR of Bihar’s electoral rolls was a prime example. “Initially, the court was told that crores of voters are being deleted. We issued certain directions to streamline the process. Eventually, what happened? Among the deletions from the voter list were those found to have died or migrated outside. No one filed an objection. We did not find any impact on the ground level,” he said.The bench’s observations led Sibal to switch from highlighting the ill-impact of SIR to focus on questioning its constitutional validity. “The process must be inclusive and the burden of proving citizenship cannot be fastened on the voters. If there is a doubtful voter, his/her case should be referred to the competent authority to determine the citizenship issue. A booth level officer (BLO) has no right to inquire into the citizenship of a voter,” he said.

NEW DELHI: PM Narendra Modi marked Constitution Day on Wednesday by urging citizens to never miss out on their constitutional right to vote and renewed his pitch for balancing rights with duties.PM Modi has often emphasised that while the issue of people’s rights has received attention, the Constitution’s similar focus on their duties was overlooked. He cited a host of stalwarts, including Mahatma Gandhi, to underscore the primacy of duties for social and economic progress.As the country moves forward to realising the dream of a developed India, people must always place their duties towards the nation foremost in their minds, he said.In a letter to citizens on Constitution Day, which was announced by his government in 2015, PM Modi suggested that people organise special events on November 26 to mark the coming-of-age of youngsters in schools and colleges to celebrate first-time voters. Constitution gives us rights, reminds us of our duties: PMFirst-time voters will make them feel that they are also active participants in the process of nation-building, PM Modi said. “It is our duty to never miss the opportunity to vote in national, state and local elections where we are registered,” the PM said. His remarks came amid high turnouts in recent polls and the ongoing SIR of electoral roll drive in several states and UTs.With Congress leading the charge against his govt for allegedly weakening constitutional values, Modi in his letter took a swipe at the party for not celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Constitution’s adoption in 2010 in a befitting manner. Sadly, he said, the occasion did not receive the due national attention. However, the then Gujarat govt headed by him had organised a ‘Samvidhan Gaurav Yatra’, he added.PM Modi credited the Constitution for enabling someone like him from a disadvantaged background to serve as the head of a govt continuously for over 24 years, which includes his stint as Gujarat CM from Oct 2001.The 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Birsa Munda this year marks the occasion as special, he said, asserting it was the country’s first home minister’s inspiration and courage of conviction that guided his govt in repealing Article 370 and 35(A) and ensuring the Constitution is now fully implemented in J&K.He noted that he had bowed and touched the steps of Parliament when he entered it for the first time in 2014 and had touched the Constitution with his forehead on his re-election in 2019 as a mark of reverence, and paid tributes to Constituent Assembly chairman Rajendra Prasad and its drafting committee chair BR Ambedkar. Modi also attended a programme at Samvidhan Sadan, where President Murmu addressed a gathering to mark the day.On X, he said, “While it (Constitution) empowers us with rights, it also reminds us of our duties as citizens, which we should always try to fulfil.
