New Delhi: The ECI told the Supreme Court that Aadhaar is being used only to verify the identity of applicants seeking inclusion in electoral rolls, and not as proof of citizenship or basis for adding or deleting names from voter list, a lawyer said on Saturday.

In an affidavit filed in the Apex Court, the poll panel said it has issued clarification and instructions to officials that Aadhaar card should not be used as a basis for adding or deleting names from the voter list as per Section 23(4) of the Representation of the People Act.

The Election Commission of India (ECI) said that Aadhaar card is being used only to establish a person’s identity in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls.
