Indian Unique Identification Authority (UIDAI) officials have warned people against sharing their Adhaar numbers or personal data with unauthorized agencies to have them laminated or printed on plastic cards.
UIDAI said it would be fitting for Aadhaar to have a paper card. “There’s no concept like a smart passport for Aadhaar,” said Ajay Bhushan Pandey, UIDAI General Manager, and Project Director.
Whilst UIDAI claimed to be a valid document for the downloaded version of Aadhaar or eAadhaar, the “original” UIDAI card was in great demand. There were also reports that some companies were failing to accept eAadhaar prints. UIDAI also said it could not be called ‘first’ adhair in the form of plastic or laminated cards only because of the Aadhaar cards.
