Aadhaar revamp, labour updates feature in December 2025 rule changes

December 2025

Hyderabad: Public systems will undergo adjustments as India enters a phase shaped by December 2025 rule changes. UIDAI will release a redesigned Aadhaar card from 1 December. The new card will contain only a QR code and a photograph. Verification will rely on face recognition after scanning the code. Officials said the redesign aims to strengthen identity security.

Labour codes represent the next major update. The Code on Wages requires the basic salary component to be at least 50%. The rule is partly in force. It now affects PF and gratuity calculations. Officials expect full enforcement after guidelines are issued. Observers said employees may see changes by the end of December. Yet no formal confirmation has been released.

LPG cylinder pricing forms the third pillar of upcoming updates. Gas agencies revise prices on the first day of each month. They will follow the same practice on 1 December 2025. The revision may raise or reduce household spending, depending on the outcome.

Authorities monitor implications of December 2025 rule changes

The December 2025 rule changes could influence identity checks, payroll structures and domestic costs. Officials said all three updates will move through routine channels. They stressed that Aadhaar scanning, labour benefits and LPG supply remain unaffected during transition.

Investigations or non-related incidents do not form part of these rule updates. Hence the current report remains confined to the three confirmed areas. Authorities said updates will be shared once guidelines become public.
