The UIDAI or the Unique Identification Authority of India, has the role of issuing a distinct 12-digit number, the Aadhaar number, to every Indian citizen. This body acts on the behest of the Government of India, and the Aadhaar number, held by an Aadhaar card, is every Indian citizen’s proof of residence and identity. It is a widely accepted document for the purposes of gaining access to many services and products, including bank accounts, government schemes, etc., in the Indian ecosystem. Furthermore, when your PAN card and Aadhaar are linked, you can easily file your income tax returns as well.
Indian adults and children are eligible to apply for and have Aadhaar cards, and it is recommended that every Indian should have one. The process may be a lengthy one, but once you have an Aadhaar card, it acts as your enabler for many future necessary procedures. Although the registration for Aadhaar is totally voluntary, most banking, educational, and other institutions and bodies accept it as a form of identity and address proof. What’s more, with a PAN Aadhaar link, it is possible to avail of many facilities both online and offline. Basically, an Aadhaar card makes your life hassle-free and your transactions and procedures streamlined.
