Aadhaar card for NRIs! Modi government extends this facility to Indians living abroad

For Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) holding Indian passports, Indian government's recent announcement has given a big relief if they want to get their Aadhaar card made. Now, they no longer need to wait for 180 days but will get their Aadhaar card made as soon as they arrive in the country. The latest announcement has come just before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to America. A notification in this regard has also been issued, and the government move is likely to benefit thousands of NRIs.

According to the notification issued by Union Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the NRIs will be able to easily make their Aadhaar card on arrival in India. However, the benefit of this rule will be available only to those NRIs who hold an Indian passport.

According to the notification, this rule will be effective from September 20, which the date of issuance of the notification. Now, any NRI, who is willing to get his Aadhaar card made, can have it anytime after September 20, 2019 .

The latest government decision will greatly benefit the NRIs, who can easily make their Aadhaar card, and use it as their KYC (know your customer) wherever they need a document. This will also facilitate them to file their income tax returns.

Notably, UIDAI has recently extended the facility to residents in the country that they need not stand in queues and pay no charges. They can easily change their address in Aadhaar through online.
