Key Updates & Importance:
UIDAI aims for a single, valid Aadhaar per person. New rules invalidate duplicate Aadhaar numbers, recognizing only the first one with unique biometric data. Staying updated with document requirements prevents delays in services like banking and identity verification.

1. Proof of Identity (PoI): Confirms your name and photo.
