The rules have been changed by UIDAI. Yes, from now on the date of birth written on Aadhar card will not be valid for date of birth in any document. It will be necessary to present the birth certificate along with the relevant documents. Only after this the related documents and applications will be valid.
The new system has been implemented from December 1. An order in this regard has been given by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). This step has been taken to prevent fraud by changing date of birth in Aadhaar by changing date, month and year etc. Even for the newly created Aadhaar, information about not using it as the date of birth is also being mentioned on the Aadhaar card. Information regarding this will be written on downloading the new Aadhar card.
It is necessary to present the birth certificate for verification.
After the new system, you will have to present the birth certificate along with the Aadhar card. Rakesh Verma, Deputy Director of Aadhaar Project, said that with the new rules, Aadhaar will be used as a mere identity document everywhere, whether it is admission in school or college or making a passport. It will be necessary to present the birth certificate for verification of date of birth.

Why did the rules change?
By repeatedly changing the date of birth and name in Aadhaar, people were committing fraud to avail benefits of various schemes including pension scheme, admission, sports competition etc. However, strict action was taken several times by UIDAI. But could not achieve success in this. After this, changes have been made in it.
It is noteworthy that the Aadhaar project was started in 2009. Later, Aadhaar card was considered as a unique identity card and linked to all the facilities. One who did not have Aadhar card cannot avail the benefits of government facilities.
What will be difficult
After the change in the rules, a big question has arisen after the date of birth recorded in Aadhaar is not recognized. The question is, what will happen to all kinds of schemes including pension and such works where people do not have any birth certificate?
There are a large number of people who do not have any kind of certificate related to age. Currently, most of the schemes are linked to Jan Aadhar and it can be made only through Aadhar card.
