2.5 Crore Aadhaar Cards Deactivated: Is Yours Next? Check Status & Reactivate Now!

• Central government deactivated 2.5 crore Aadhaar numbers, primarily of deceased individuals, to prevent fraud and misuse of schemes.
• Aadhaar can become inactive due to duplicate entries, death, repeated biometric failures, fraudulent information, or court orders.
• Aadhaar does not automatically become inactive solely due to non-use, but long-term inactivity can affect older records or children's Aadhaar without biometric updates.
• Family members can report the death of an Aadhaar holder online via MyAadhaar portal or by visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
• To reactivate an inactive Aadhaar, verify it with OTP, update KYC at the bank, or update the registered mobile number. Biometric updates are recommended periodically, but Aadhaar has no expiry date.
