Aadhaar, a crucial document for various aspects of life, including employment, can lead to complications if errors are made with the details.
This is especially true for women employees. Therefore, it’s of utmost importance to maintain accurate Aadhaar details to prevent such complications.
As Aadhaar is mandatory for all citizens, errors or outdated information must be corrected. When Aadhaar was issued, details were entered based on available data, which has led to complications for married women and homemakers who registered their Aadhaar with their husbands’ surnames.
Today, the unique number on the Aadhaar card serves as the basis for many processes in the country, linking vital information from birth to death. Educated working women often need help if they need to correct details that were entered incorrectly.
Many women, even those educated and employed, tend to enter their husbands’ surnames on their Aadhaar cards. Some women who completed their education before marriage also list their father-in-law’s name on their Aadhaar cards, creating further complications.
These mistakes can hinder linking Aadhaar with PAN cards, which is required when the names do not match. To resolve these issues, women who experience discrepancies must often visit Aadhaar centers repeatedly.
Government sources recommend that women in government and private sectors maintain their Aadhaar and PAN cards with birth names.
Employees must keep their names consistent with those on their PAN cards, as salaries, service records, and pension payments rely on educational qualifications associated with their names.
When registering, it’s advised that women include their real names and their husband’s surname in Aadhaar records. Ignoring these guidelines can lead to significant challenges later on, so being cautious and proactive is essential.
