Last week, on Friday, the Unique Identification Authority of India deactivated around 81 lakh Aadhaar numbers.

The deactivation of Aadhaar numbers were due to a number of reasons stated in Section 27 and 28 of Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Regulations, 2016.

As per these provisions, a person's Aadhaar can be cancelled or deactivated if multiple Aadhaars have been issued, or there is any issue in the biometric data or supporting documents.

Worried about your Aadhaar card? Here's how to check the status of your Aadhaar.

1.            Go to UIDAI homepage

2.          Clicking 'Verify Aadhaar Number' will redirect you to a new page.

3.          Enter your Aadhaar number, captcha and click verify. If the green checkmark appears, your Aadhaar is active.

And in case your Aadhaar is deactivated, then visit the nearest enrolment center along with the supporting documents.

You will be required to fill out the Aadhaar update form and your biometrics will be re-verified and updated. For the update you will just have to pay Rs 25.

Dear users, if you are a parent then please note that children who enroll before the age of 5 years should update their biometrics once after attaining the age of 5 years and then again after turning 15 years of age. You get a period of two years to carry out this update and if you fail to do so, it can lead to the cancellation of your card.
