What it means

  • The gazette notification introduces the Aadhaar (Payment of Fees for Performance of Authentication) Amendment Regulations, 2024. It amends the Aadhaar (Payment of Fees for Performance of Authentication) Regulations, 2023.
  • A new fee of five rupees is introduced for each update regarding the status of an Aadhaar number (whether it has been omitted, deactivated, or reactivated) when a requesting entity has an agreement with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) for authentication purposes.
  • The notification also clarifies delegation of power or function by the authority.

Key Changes

  • Regulation 3 of the Aadhaar (Payment of Fees for Performance of Authentication) Regulations, 2023 is amended to include a reference to sub-regulation (5) in the Explanation.
  • A new sub-regulation (4) is added to Regulation 3, specifying a fee of ₹5 for each update on the status of an Aadhaar number (omission, deactivation, reactivation) for requesting entities with existing agreements with UIDAI for authentication.
  • The UIDAI is granted the authority to waive this fee if the update is in the interest of performing its functions and exercising its powers, including maintaining information in the Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) and ensuring its accuracy.
  • The fee of ₹5 is inclusive of applicable taxes.
  • The fee will be revised every 24 calendar months based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rounded off to the nearest ten paise. The UIDAI can defer such revision.
  • A new Regulation 5 is added, clarifying that any act or thing that the Authority is required or may do under these regulations may also be done by any Member or officer of the Authority or any other person to whom the Authority has delegated the related power or function by general or special order in writing, under section 51 of the Act.
