Deactivating Deceased's Aadhaar: A Crucial Step to Prevent Identity Theft

• Deactivating a deceased person's Aadhaar is vital to prevent identity theft and unauthorized transactions.
• Aadhaar is linked to bank accounts, mobile numbers, PAN cards, and government schemes, making it a target for misuse.
• Failure to update Aadhaar can lead to financial and legal complications, including issues with subsidies, pensions, and tax returns.
• Updating records ensures correct demographic data for government benefits and smooth transfer to next of kin.
• The family must provide a death certificate and proof of relationship to deactivate Aadhaar, as it's not automatic.
