Getting Aadhaar just got tougher: Here's what's changing and why

The Aadhaar system is undergoing a major overhaul to ensure only verified Indian citizens receive the unique identification number.

These enhanced measures align with Indias centralized KYC norms, maintaining a unified and verifiable identity ecosystem.
