Aadhaar

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique ID number given to people living in India. It is issued by the government body called UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India). Anyone — no matter their age or gender — can get Aadhaar for free. It uses your fingerprints, eye scan (iris), and basic details like name, address, and date of birth to make sure that each Aadhaar is unique and no two people get the same number.

Key Benefits of the Aadhaar

  • One ID for Everything

    Aadhaar works as a valid identity and address proof across India. You can use it for services like banking, mobile connection, school admission, or visiting hospitals.

  • Direct Benefit Transfer

    The Government uses Aadhaar to send money for subsidies and welfare schemes (like LPG subsidy, pension, etc.) directly to your bank account. This reduces fraud and ensures the benefit reaches the right person.

  • Simple and Fast Services

    With Aadhaar, you can open a bank account, apply for a passport, or sign documents online with fewer documents and in less time.

  • Helps the Poor and Unbanked

    Many people who don’t have any other ID proof can use Aadhaar to get access to financial services like opening a bank account, applying for loans, or getting government help.

  • Safe and Secure

    Since Aadhaar is linked to your biometrics (fingerprints and eye scan), no one else can misuse your identity. It helps stop duplicate or fake identities.

  • Works Across India

    You can use your Aadhaar anywhere in India, even if you move to a different city or state. It’s helpful for people who travel for work or change locations often.
