To allow a person to exit Aadhaar on reaching 18

The government will seek legal counsel on whether it can delete the biometric data of young people who choose to quit Aadhaar once they turn 18, UIDAI CEO and Revenue Secretary Ajay Bhushan Pandey told The Hindu.

The Union Cabinet recently approved amendments to the Aadhaar Act, including a provision that gives a child, on attaining maturity (18 years), the power to withdraw his/her Aadhaar details. This entails that the Unique Authority of India to remove all the details of such people from its servers, including biometrics.

“A child when he or she turns the age of 18 can exercise an option to opt out, and in that particular case, their Aadhaar number will be cancelled,” Mr. Pandey said in an interview. “Regarding the biometric data, that is something we will have to take a legal opinion because if you delete the biometric data, then suppose that person comes again and does enrolment, then how will that operate.”

“Maybe that data could be kept somewhere separate, but how that will function, we will have to take legal opinions,” Mr. Pandey added.

The Aadhaar Act was not passed during the just-concluded Budget session of the Lok Sabha, and so it will have to be reintroduced during the next session, which will be under the new government.
