The claim
Aadhaar saturation percentages in Muslim-dominated districts of Bihar are unusually high compared to other districts.
Original review summary
FACTLY reports that the cited figures are correct, but says high Aadhaar saturation is also found in Hindu-majority districts in Bihar and in districts across India. It explains that saturation can exceed 100% because the calculation uses 2011 Census population figures while Aadhaar enrolments include people added to the population since then.[S1]
Additional context
The review says UIDAI’s figures were current as of 17 July 2025 and attributes rates above 100% to the gap between the 2011 Census population denominator and later Aadhaar enrolments. [S1]
