I usually post all important items related to official rulings, union news, and other general matters on my YouTube channels: Yourskayveeyes (English) and Anbudan Kayveeyes (Tamil).
However, due to the recent spate of orders and the high volume of information being received, I have not been able to convert every item into a video. Therefore, I am introducing these new slots to post current matters and updates that have not yet been published on YouTube. This ensures you stay informed on every detail, even if a video hasn't been made yet …………….Kayveeyes

• The document revises the rates of financial assistance given by UIDAI to registrars for Aadhaar generation and Mandatory Biometric Update (MBU) services. It also specifies the fees that registrars can charge residents for other Aadhaar services.
• Financial assistance to registrars is applicable only for successful transactions.
• The revised rates are effective for two periods:
