In today's digital age, the Aadhaar card has become the most important identity document for every Indian citizen. Whether it's opening a bank account, receiving government subsidies, pensions, rations, gas cylinders, or availing any government scheme, an Aadhaar card is required everywhere. In such a situation, if the data linked to the Aadhaar card is incorrect or misused, it can cause considerable trouble for ordinary people.

To address this issue and enhance the Aadhaar system, the Modi government has taken a significant and important decision. The government has deactivated more than 2.5 crore Aadhaar cards so far. The purpose of this decision is to prevent fraud and stop those who are misusing government schemes. So, let's find out how to check if your Aadhaar card has been deactivated among the 2.5 crore cards cancelled by the Modi government.

IT Minister Provides Important Information

Union IT Minister Jitin Prasada, while giving information on this matter, said that currently, about 134 crore people in India have Aadhaar cards. The government's priority is that every record related to Aadhaar should be accurate, updated, and reliable. With this objective, a campaign to clean up Aadhaar data is being conducted across the country. Under this campaign, more than 2.5 crore Aadhaar cards have been deactivated so far, which were in the names of people who have passed away. This means that all these Aadhaar cards will no longer be valid and cannot be misused.

What are the benefits of deactivating Aadhaar cards?

This decision of the government will provide several major benefits to ordinary citizens. For example, no one will be able to misuse the Aadhaar card of a deceased person to fraudulently avail government schemes. The data linked to Aadhaar will become more accurate and reliable.

Banking, online transactions, and digital services will be more secure than ever before.
