In the advisory, the NTA has announced that Aadhaar-based eKYC is now required for identity verification. Aadhaar must contain the correct candidate’s name, date of birth, gender, photograph, and address.

At the time of online form submission, candidates are required to capture and submit a live photograph, as outlined in the advisory.

The NTA has also urged candidates to provide a valid supporting certificate, in case the live photograph doesn’t match the Aadhaar photograph.
