Getting Aadhaar Just Got Tougher For Adults; UIDAI to Verify Via PAN, Passport, Ration Card
New Delhi: Getting an Aadhaar card just got stricter. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which initially allowed easy enrolment since Aadhaar was meant only as a proof of identity not citizenship has now tightened the rules. Going forward, only verified adults will be allowed to enrol for the unique ID. Stricter Checks with Govt Databases Coming to Aadhaar UIDAI is planning to tighten Aadhaar verification by cross-checking details using government records like passports, ration cards, and birth or school certificates. The goal is to make the system more accurate and secure. While Aadhaar is not proof of citizenship or address, the new process aims to ensure that only Indian citizens receive Aadhaar going forward. Extra Verification Step for New Aadhaar Enrolments UIDAI has introduced a new tool that adds another layer of security during Aadhaar enrolments and updates, according to a TOI report. This tool will verify your details by matching them with online records like PAN cards, driving licences, MGNREGS data, and even electricity bills. These checks align with central KYC norms and aim to ensure more accurate and trustworthy identity verification. Over 140 Crore Aadhaar Numbers Issued So Far In the last 15 years, more than 140 crore Aadhaar numbers have been generated including for many who have since passed away. Today, almost every adult in India has an Aadhaar, and even newborns are being enrolled soon after birth. With such widespread coverage, the government is now focusing on stricter rules for new adult enrolments. Stricter Checks to Keep Aadhaar Safe from Misuse To prevent illegal immigrants from getting Aadhaar using fake documents, the government has made document verification stricter. Now, Aadhaar is issued only after state authorities carefully check each applicant's details through a government portal. In the past, there were concerns that Aadhaar could be misused to get other IDs or even claim citizenship, but officials say the new system will make it much harder for non-citizens to misuse it.

Sudip Bandyopadhyay's 3 sectoral picks in choppy markets
Live Events (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel "This is a global issue, and India is no exception. Additionally, Indian markets are dealing with corporate results that do not justify current valuations. There's a clear disconnect between the valuations at which many stocks are trading and their underlying fundamentals," says Sudip Bandyopadhyay , Group Chairman, Inditrade Capital The market needs clarity, but currently, we are in an ambiguous state. We do not know what is happening on the tariff front. We also do not know how the earnings season will pan out, as the start has not been as strong as one would have hoped. What is your assessment regarding the market direction?Sudip Bandyopadhyay: Well, there is considerable volatility ahead. You're absolutely right—the corporate results season has begun, with TCS already out, and others will follow quickly over the next couple of weeks. However, we are not expecting anything spectacular. We anticipate a subdued set of numbers from Indian corporates at this stage. Yes, there will be exceptions, but the overall tone is likely to remain that, the tariff-related volatility emanating from the US is creating turmoil in the markets. It's not just about specific tariff issues—even companies like TCS have spoken about widespread uncertainty. They are struggling to secure new contracts, with many deals being delayed or slowed down as US corporations adopt a cautious stance. This uncertainty is impacting several sectors beyond those directly affected by is a global issue, and India is no exception. Additionally, Indian markets are dealing with corporate results that do not justify current valuations. There's a clear disconnect between the valuations at which many stocks are trading and their underlying discussing market direction, I'd like to know which sectors you believe are worth betting on in the current scenario. Also, has the market already made a near-term top?Sudip Bandyopadhyay: I don't think we've made a near-term top—or a near-term bottom, for that matter. Volatility remains the norm. Until we get some certainty or at least stability on the tariff front, markets will continue to swing. We'll see stock-specific and sector-specific movements based on news terms of sectors, we like cement. Although the monsoon season may bring daily developments that are not favorable to the cement story, fundamentally and structurally, the sector looks good. UltraTech , the leader in the space, remains attractive even at current sector we're positive on—despite seasonal monsoon-related challenges—is construction and infrastructure. Larsen & Toubro, the leader in this space, looks good at current valuations. Its order book is robust, including margin-accretive global orders, which are improving the company's overall margin profile. Under these circumstances, L&T is attractive at current is another space where most investors are overweight. While we like the sector, we prefer a cautious approach. SBI , from the PSU banking space, offers valuation comfort compared to private-sector peers and looks good from a medium- to long-term with banking and financials, I'm observing increased activity in the real estate sector. There's talk that the upcycle remains intact for the long term. Based on recent sales trends and brokerage reports, do you think a dip would be a good buying opportunity in real estate?Sudip Bandyopadhyay: Selectively, yes. One has to be a bit cautious because demand at the top end of the residential market is plateauing. It's not declining, but incremental demand is becoming harder to generate. So we need to tread commercial real estate—particularly in southern states—is booming due to the continuing GCC boom. Therefore, players with a healthy mix of residential and commercial projects in major metros are worth considering. DLF , with its extensive land bank and long-term potential, is attractive at current levels. Phoenix Mills is another name worth looking at. While there may be short-term volatility and occupancy-related challenges, fundamentally, it looks promising from a three- to five-year your view on the IT sector? TCS's results weren't particularly encouraging, and the stock was under pressure on Friday. With continued ambiguity in news flow, should investors consider building fresh positions in IT stocks now that valuations are relatively attractive?Sudip Bandyopadhyay: As you rightly said, uncertainty persists. The lack of fresh order inflows and the slowing or stalling of existing projects are pressuring both large-cap and mid-cap IT firms. This strain will remain visible, and companies will find it difficult to provide clear guidance—not just for the full year, but even for the next this backdrop, caution is advisable. However, if you're a long-term investor looking to gradually build a position in IT, this may be a good opportunity. Whether the right moment is today, next week, or the week after is difficult to predict. But if you believe in the long-term story of Indian IT, it makes sense to start accumulating slowly. These are fundamentally strong companies and will perform well over time—but right now, we're in a period of heightened volatility.
