Aadhaar: Aadhaar Card will be generated through WhatsApp, know the step by step process..

The Aadhaar card has become the most important document of identity for every Indian today. It is required everywhere, from banks to mobile SIMs. But sometimes sharing its copy also increases the risk of fraud. In such a situation, a new method has now come up, through which you will be able to keep the information related to Aadhaar safe and can work without sharing the card.

Actually, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the organization that manages the Aadhaar card, has provided a facility through which a digital copy of the Aadhaar card can be downloaded. It is called e-Aadhaar and is password-protected. Usually, an Aadhaar card is downloaded from the UIDAI portal or DigiLocker app, but there is an easy way by which you can also get it directly on WhatsApp. For this, the government's official MyGov Helpdesk chatbot is available. With this integration, users can download Aadhaar and other important documents safely.
