The Aadhaar card is a crucial document for Indian residents. It serves as a unique proof of identity and address. Its 12-digit number grants access to essential services like government schemes, banking and telecommunications. The Aadhaar card must be handled with care as there is sensitive personal and biometric information stored in it. If lost or misused, it can pose serious risks especially when linked to financial accounts and government benefits. This makes it essential to protect your Aadhaar details and stay vigilant against potential misuse.
