NEW DELHI: The Centre on Sunday said there is no proposal to change the design of Aadhaar cards, dismissing reports suggesting a revised format.
In a statement, the ministry of electronics and information technology said: “There are intermittent news reports and social media posts explaining how Aadhaar’s look may change by the end of this year to just a photo and a QR code, alone. This is NOT CORRECT. There is no plan for any such changes.”
The ministry said such reports were causing confusion among the public and advised people to rely on official communication from the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) through its verified social media handles and press releases issued via the Press Information Bureau.
“Such news reports and social media posts are creating unwanted confusion in the minds of the people. People in general are advised to ignore such reports and social media posts, and refer to official communication from UIDAI through its official social media handles and press releases issued through PIB (Press Information Bureau). Media is also advised not to encourage such information,” it added.
