• On July 21, the UIDAI debuted instant Aadhaar retrieval online and announced full in-browser update capabilities coming in November 2025.
• Users can now submit and track name spelling corrections on their Aadhaar cards entirely online through the UIDAI digital self-service portal.
• The Income Tax Department and NSDL allow users to resolve PAN-Aadhaar mismatches via their official websites without visiting physical centres.
