Aadhaar can be used in SIR, EC tells states
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 12, 2025
{ IN LINE WITH SC ORDER
The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Wednesday told state Chief Electoral Officers (CEOs) that Aadhaar will be accepted as one of the documents to be furnished by electors in any future special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls nationwide, officials said, in line with the Supreme Court's instructions earlier this month.
But, election officials added that ECI underlined that Aadhaar will be accepted as the 12th document—the poll watchdog earlier issued a list of Il documents to be accepted for enrolment in Bihar—as an identity document and notas proof of citizenship. This means that officials will accept Aadhaar but further documents might be asked for wherever there is “reasonable doubt” about the applicant's citizenship, the officials said on anonymity.
