New Aadhaar Rules for OCIs and NRIs
New Aadhaar rules introduced in October 2024 require anyone over 18, including Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) and foreign nationals, to prove a 182-day stay in India before applying for Aadhaar. This has led to delays, particularly in cities like Bengaluru, where many applications remain unverified. While intended to prevent fraud and enhance security, the stringent verification process has caused practical difficulties for OCIs and NRIs, particularly those who struggle to meet the residency requirement or have discrepancies in their documents. Calls for alternative verification methods have emerged as the process faces challenges.
