The Aadhaar card is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
The Aadhaar number can be used to verify the identity of an individual when availing various government services such as applying for a passport, opening a bank account, receiving subsidies and benefits from the government, filing tax returns, etc. It also acts as a proof of address and identity.
