On Wednesday, UIDAI CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar wrote a letter to the Chief Secretaries of the states and union territories urging them to complete the pending mandatory biometric update by organizing camps in schools.

A release issued by the authority said, “UIDAI has joined hands with the Department of School Education and Literacy to make the mandatory biometric update (MBU) status related to Aadhaar of school children available on the Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+) application. This is a move that will facilitate mandatory biometric update in Aadhaar for crores of students.

17 crore Aadhaar cards not updated

UIDAI said that it is necessary to complete Aadhaar biometric update on time for children at the age of five and then at the age of 15.

The work of mandatory biometric update is pending in the case of about 17 crore Aadhaar numbers.

There will be difficulty in registration for exams

Not updating the child’s biometric data may later lead to problems in getting benefits under various government schemes, verification for registration in competitive and university examinations like NEET, JEE, CUET etc. The CEO of UIDAI has also apprised all the Chief Secretaries of the states and union territories about this initiative and has sought their cooperation in organizing MBU camps.
