UIDAI gave this reason for not using Aadhaar for DOB proof
Due to its specialty, Aadhaar is recognized as a proof of identity and proof of address for the Aadhaar holder. In a way, this is a big proof for ID and address. However, it cannot be used as date of birth (DoB) proof. Aadhaar is a 12-digit personal identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India on behalf of the Government of India. This number serves as proof of identity and address, anywhere in India.
