Bihar polls: ECI lists 11 documents for voter roll update, Aadhaar not included; check what's required
Friday, 4 July 2025 () A controversy surrounds Bihar's electoral roll revision, initiated by the Election Commission of India after 22 years. Opposition parties fear voter deletion, particularly among marginalized groups, alleging a skewed voter base close to the assembly polls. The EC insists the revision aligns with the Constitution, while opposition parties, despite public criticism, actively participate by deploying booth-level agents.
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.
