Are Aadhaar VIDs permanent?

Warning : No. Aadhaar Virtual IDs (VIDs) are not permanent. They remain valid indefinitely until you generate a new one. Once a new VID is created, the old one becomes invalid immediately.

📅 VID Validity & Regeneration Rules

No fixed expiry date → A VID stays valid indefinitely unless replaced.
One active VID at a time → Generating a new VID automatically invalidates the old one.
24-hour regeneration limit → A new VID can only be generated once every 24 hours.
Unlimited regeneration → No cap on how many times you can regenerate over time.

🔄 Why This System Works

Enhanced privacy → If an old VID is exposed, you can generate a new one to stay secure.
Single valid credential → Service providers only validate the most recent VID, simplifying authentication.
User control → You decide when to regenerate your VID, instead of relying on fixed expiry dates.

📝 Quick Summary

Rule	Meaning
Expiry	No auto-expiry; VID valid until replaced
Active VID	Only one active VID per Aadhaar at a time
Regeneration Frequency	Once every 24 hours

🎯 What You Can Expect

Continuous control over your Aadhaar privacy.
Always one valid VID for secure authentication.
Flexibility to regenerate your VID anytime (with a 24-hour gap).
