New Delhi, May 4 -- The Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY) has clarified that reports claiming a "new look" Aadhaar-featuring only a photo and QR code-are incorrect. In a statement issued under the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav initiative, the ministry said there is no plan to alter the existing Aadhaar format.

It noted that such media reports and social media posts are creating unnecessary confusion among the public. Citizens have been advised to rely only on official communications from UIDAI, including its verified social media handles and press releases issued through Press Information Bureau (PIB). MeitY has also urged the media to refrain from circulating unverified information.
