Among many services, the UIDAI has also eliminated the risk of carrying the physical Aadhaar card for citizens. By boosting digitalization move, the UIDAI introduced e-Aadhaar which holds similar value just like any other hardcopy of an Aadhaar card. In fact, one does not even need to carry physical Aadhaar card for various authentication purposes such as opening a bank account, or travelling in train, or for applying PAN card, even for filing Income Tax Rreturn among others. UIDAI reveals that, e-Aadhaar is equally valid like physical copy of Aadhaar card for all purposes.
An e-Aadhaar is a password protected electronic copy of Aadhaar card that is digitally signed by the competent authority - UIDAI.
Residents can download e-Aadhaar by visiting UIDAI websites - https://uidai.gov.in/ or by visiting https://eaadhaar.uidai.gov.in.
Here’s how you can you download e-Aadhaar, as per UIDAI.
There are two ways for downloading e-Aadhaar either by using enrollment number and secondly by using Aadhaar number.
