That's when I woke up to this. I hope we are able to Get them to act on it positively.

Details below:   Dated: 29-Sep, 2025 Under Scrutiny: Diary No.DNO/25/CCPD/4825 Place of Incidence https://apps.apple.com/in/app/maadhaar/id1435469474 Brief of Case The mAadhaar app, developed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), presents a significant accessibility challenge for visually impaired users who rely on screen readers. During the mobile and email ID validation process, an image CAPTCHA is required to proceed, which cannot be solved by screen reader users. This creates a barrier for individuals with disabilities, hindering their ability to independently update their details on the app. Relief Sought - Audio CAPTCHA: Implementing an audio-based CAPTCHA alternative would allow users to listen and enter a sequence of numbers or letters. - Text-based CAPTCHA: Providing a text-based CAPTCHA that doesn't require visual recognition, such as a simple math problem or logic-based challenge. - Alternative Verification Methods: Offering alternative verification methods, like Time-based One-Time Passwords   From: accessindia@accessindia.org.in <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> On Behalf Of Payal Ki Jhankar Sent: Friday, November 21, 2025 6:45 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issues concerning the disabled. <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Subject: [AI] The new Aadhaar app   Hi I am seeing a lot of media reports about changes coming to the entire Aadhaar protocol starting December 2025. A lot of it is going to happen through a new app that is also being mentioned. Do we have any accessibility information on it, or have the authorities been working with any of our accessibility experts? Payal -- Disclaimer: 1.
