for cancellation of Aadhaar after death of a person There is no system for cancellation of Aadhaar card after death of a person. In such a situation, it is the responsibility of the family of the deceased to maintain the Aadhar card of the deceased and see that it is not misused. If the person who has died, if that person was taking benefit of any scheme or subsidy through Aadhaar, then the concerned department should inform the death of the person. This will remove his name from that scheme.
What to do: One can lock the Aadhaar of the deceased person through the Aadhaar app or the UIDAI website. This will help prevent misuse of Aadhaar number of the deceased person.
