Uttar Pradesh sarkar ne ek important clarification jari kiya hai jisse kaafi logon ke mind me chal raha confusion ab clear ho gaya hai. The state government has officially announced kiya hai ki Aadhaar card ko birth certificate ya proof of date of birth ke roop me accept nahi kiya ja sakta. Kai departments aur institutions me log Aadhaar ko DOB proof ke taur par laga rahe the, lekin government ne ab is practice ko completely invalid declare kar diya hai. Iss decision ka direct impact students, job applicants, pension applicants aur welfare scheme beneficiaries par padega.
Kya Hua Tha Exactly?
UP Planning Department ne ek formal order issue kiya jisme saaf likha gaya hai ki Aadhaar card me kisi bhi tarah ka certified birth record nahi hota. Isliye use janm praman-patra, age proof ya date-of-birth verification ke liye istemal nahi kiya ja sakta. Aadhaar sirf identity proof hai, DOB proof nahi.
Kab Aur Kahan Ye Clarification Jari Hua?
Ye directive November ke last week me state ke sabhi departments, boards aur educational institutions ko bheja gaya. Order ke baad se pura state machinery ko instruction diya gaya hai ki Aadhaar ko dob proof ke roop me accept karna turant band karein.
Kaun-Kaun Prabhavit Hoga?
Iss decision ka impact un logon par sabse zyada hoga jo admissions, government jobs, scholarships, pension schemes ya welfare benefits ke liye apply karte waqt Aadhaar hi submit kar dete the.
Ab un sab ko valid birth certificate ya koi officially recognised DOB document dena hoga.
Sarkar Ka Bayan
Order par Planning Department ke Special Secretary ne sign kiya hai. Sarkar ka kehna hai ki Aadhaar ek identity document hai, lekin uska purpose kabhi bhi birth verification nahi tha. Isliye departments strictly follow karna hoga ki Aadhaar ko DOB proof ke roop me register na karaaya jaye.
Logon Ki Pratikriya
Public reaction mixed raha.
Kuch log bol rahe hain ki yeh step transparency badhata hai aur fake DOB claims ko rokega.
Wahin ek hissa confused aur concerned bhi hai, specially students aur job-seekers jinke paas abhi tak sirf Aadhaar hi tha. Unhe ab new certificates banwane pad sakte hain, jo thoda time-consuming ho sakta hai.
Pehle Kya Chal Raha Tha?
Kai department practical convenience ke liye Aadhaar ko DOB proof ke roop me accept kar lete the. Lekin legislatively, Aadhaar Act me kabhi bhi isse birth certificate nahi mana gaya. Honesty me, Aadhaar me jo DOB hota hai wo self-declared hota hai aur koi official govt record se match nahi hota.
Aage Kya Hoga?
Ab se har applicant ko ye documents dene padenge:
- Municipal birth certificate
- Hospital-issued birth record
- School admission record / marksheet (jisme DOB ho)
Departments ko apne rules update karne honge aur old Aadhaar-based DOB approvals ko re-verify bhi karna pad sakta hai.
Conclusion
UP Government ka yeh step clear karta hai ki Aadhaar ki legal value identity tak limited hai. Date of birth verify karne ke liye ab sirf certified documents hi chalenge. Yeh system ko clean banayega, lekin un logon ko thodi dikkat de sakta hai jinke paas abhi tak official birth document nahi hai. Sarkar ka kehna hai ki long-term me yeh clarity sabhi ke liye beneficial hogi.
