The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) keeps improving several offline and online services time and again to provide a hassle-free experience to citizens. Recently, the organisation has discontinued the Order Aadhaar Reprint service. The agency shared the information through their Aadhaar Help Centre Twitter handle.
