Aadhaar is an important document, which is required to avail various government schemes. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has asked banks to ensure all accounts are Aadhaar-seeded and linked with Permanent Account Number (PAN) by March 31 next year.
Keeping in mind the importance of Aadhaar, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) last month launched the Aadhaar in the form of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The card is equipped with the latest security features and is more durable. Its security features include Digitally signed Secure QR code, Hologram, Ghost image and Guilloche pattern, among others. It’s like a debit, credit or PAN card and is instantly verifiable offline.
Those who want to get the new Aadhaar card can buy it by paying a nominal charge of Rs 50. Aadhaar card holders who do not have registered mobile number can also purchase the new card through any alternate mobile number. Besides, a person can order Aadhaar PVC cards online for the whole family using his mobile number.
