December 2025 rule changes to bring new Aadhaar design and salary norms

Hyderabad: Authorities will implement several updates under December 2025 rule changes. UIDAI is preparing a redesigned Aadhaar card. The new version will show only a photograph and a QR code. It will remove printed demographic details. Officials said face-recognition verification will follow a QR scan. They added that security requirements informed this decision.
