Scheme Introduction

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number that can be obtained voluntarily by residents of India, based on their biometric and demographic data. The data is collected by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), a statutory authority established in January 2009 by the government of India, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, following the provisions of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016.

Aadhaar is the world's largest biometric ID system. Considered a proof of residence and not a proof of citizenship, Aadhaar does not itself grant any rights to domicile in India.

Scheme Objectives

The Aadhaar Card can be defined as a document that carries a 12-digit identification number that is provided to you by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) as a representative of the Indian Government. The number acts as an evidence of address and identity of people across all parts of India. One can get the Aadhaar letter, which contains the card itself, through India Post or download it from the UIDAI website. Both will be regarded as equally authentic.

With the help of Aadhaar number one can access useful services such as mobile phone connections, cooking gas connections, and banking. While in the initial stages this number is only applicable for government-run services it is expected that in future other similar services, as well as ones run by non-governmental entities, will come into its fold as well.
