An Aadhaar update declaration is used when an employee's Aadhaar-related details change, such as name or date of birth corrections, and must be reflected for PF KYC or UAN seeding. It is designed to keep HR's copy minimal: only masked Aadhaar and the last four digits are held.
I give my consent to [Company Name] to use my Aadhaar details only for the purpose ticked above. I understand that the company will keep only a masked copy, will not share it beyond the relevant authority, and will retain it for the period that purpose requires, consistent with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. I may withdraw this consent where the law permits.
