Bihar SIR: Aadhaar accepted in Patna, not in Seemanchal
Wednesday, 9 July 2025 () Bihar's electoral roll revision reveals an urban-rural divide as 57% of voters submit forms. Patna accepts Aadhaar, while rural areas demand birth, caste, or land documents, causing distress. Many lack required papers, especially in Seemanchal, leading to document application surges and concerns about voter list retention, particularly among the elderly and those displaced by floods.

Indian Railways Tatkal Rules: Starting July 1, 2025, Indian Railways will require Aadhaar authentication for all Tatkal ticket bookings online. From July 15, an Aadhaar-based OTP will be mandatory for booking Tatkal tickets both online and at ticket counters. This move aims to prevent fraud and speed up bookings, as the passenger reservation system is being upgraded to handle 1.5 lakh tickets per minute, a huge jump from the previous 32,000 tickets per minute. Minor fare hikes have also been introduced, but low-class travelers won’t be significantly affected.
