Ans. Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number that can be obtained by residents of India, based on their biometric and demographic data. The process for Aadhaar enrolment of residents of the country involves the use of certain basic demographic information combined with ten fingerprints, both irises and photograph to uniquely identify a resident through a process of de-duplication.

An Aadhaar number issued to an individual shall not be reassigned to any other individual. An Aadhaar number shall be a random number and bear no relation to the attributes or identity of the Aadhaar number holder.
