UIDAI has deactivated these Aadhaar cards as part of a nationwide clean-up drive to ensure the Aadhaar database is accurate and to curb identity fraud and misuse of government benefits.
No, an Aadhaar number is never reassigned to another individual, even after deactivation due to death.
A family member must report the death on the myAadhaar portal after obtaining an official death certificate and Death Registration Number. They need to log in, authenticate, and submit the deceased's Aadhaar number and the registration number.
You can check the Aadhaar activation status online by visiting the myAadhaar portal and selecting 'Check Aadhaar Status', or offline by visiting an Aadhaar Seva Kendra with identification documents.
UIDAI sources data on deceased persons from government sources such as the Registrar General of India (RGI), State and Union Territory governments, Public Distribution System, National Social Assistance Program, and other central departments.
