CIC flags Aadhaar update delays

New Delhi: The Central Information Commission (CIC) has flagged delays in updating Aadhaar details and asked the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to fix timelines and strengthen its grievance redressal system.

The observations came while disposing of an appeal filed by a woman who had sought correction of date of birth in her Aadhaar card, alleging that her request was not processed in time.

During the hearing, the appellant said that despite submitting the required documents, her request remained pending for a long time, forcing her to approach the Delhi High Court by filing a writ petition in the matter.
