Assam Halts New Aadhaar Issuance For Adults, Except SC, ST
Assam will stop issuing new Aadhaar cards to adults except Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, and tea garden workers for a year. A September window allows others to apply. District Commissioners may grant exceptions after thorough verification, aiming to block illegal foreigners, especially Bangladeshi nationals, from obtaining Aadhaar and Indian citizenship.
