There is no provision to cancel the Aadhaar of a person after his death
There is no provision to cancel the Aadhaar card of a person after his death. In such a case, it is the responsibility of the family of the deceased to preserve the Aadhaar card of the deceased and ensure that it is not misused. If the person who has died was taking advantage of any scheme or subsidy through Aadhaar, then the concerned department should be informed about the person’s death. This will remove his name from that scheme. What to do: A person can lock the Aadhaar of the deceased person through the Aadhaar app or the UIDAI website. This will help prevent misuse of the Aadhaar number of the deceased person.
