Nowadays, the Aadhaar card has become a vital identity for everyone. Whether it's for banking, purchasing a mobile SIM, availing government schemes, or enrolling in schools or colleges, it's required everywhere. Therefore, every Indian needs to have an Aadhaar card.

It is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). Furthermore, the UIDAI has established certain rules that everyone must follow. Failure to follow these rules could result in imprisonment or even a fine. Let's explore these important rules to avoid trouble.

Punishment for Providing False Information When Applying for Aadhaar
If you fail to provide accurate information to the UIDAI when applying for Aadhaar, but instead provide false information, it is considered a crime. This could result in a jail term of up to three years or a fine of ₹10,000. Therefore, provide your documents and information with complete honesty when applying for Aadhaar.

Making Changes to Someone Else's Aadhaar Card is a Crime
Changing someone else's Aadhaar card information or tampering with their identity is also illegal. Doing so can result in a 3-year jail term or a fine of up to 10,000 rupees. Therefore, do not make any changes to someone else's Aadhaar card without their permission; otherwise it could cause serious trouble.

Leaking Data Can Be Costly
Sometimes, people open Aadhaar-related agencies without UIDAI approval and collect personal information. This is against the law. This can result in a 3-year jail term and a fine of 10,000 rupees. If a company does this, it can be fined up to 1 lakh rupees. Furthermore, leaking someone else's personal information or providing it to an unknown person is also a crime. This offense can also result in imprisonment and a fine.

Theft at an Aadhaar Center: The Most Severe Punishment
If someone hacks into an Aadhaar center or attempts to steal data, it is considered a serious crime. For this, there can be a jail term of up to 10 years and a fine ranging from Rs 10,000 to Rs 10 lakh can also be imposed.
