Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) |
Aadhaar is a unique number, and no resident can have a duplicate number since it is linked to their individual biometrics; thereby identifying fake and ghost identities which result in leakages today |
It was established in February 2009 |
The UIDAI is part of the Planning Commission of India . Nandan Nilekani former co-chairman of Infosys was appointed as the first Chairman of the authority in June 2009 |
Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique number which the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will issue for all residents in India. |
AADHAAR program was inaugurated by Prime Minister in Maharashtra on 29 September 2010. |
The UID will link a person's Passport Number, Driving License, PAN card, Bank Accounts, Address, Voter ID, etc. and all this information will be checked through a database. |
Portability: Aadhaar is a universal number, and agencies and services can contact the central Unique Identification database from anywhere in the country to confirm a beneficiary’s identity. |
The Department of Posts is one of the registrars for Aadhaar |
The postal department will soon have a couple of counters each and trained personnel will collect the required documents, conduct biometric scanning of 10 fingerprints and iris, feed the data in the system, and provide the applicants with an acknowledgement slip. The Aadhaar card will be sent through speed post. |
