India is heading towards digitization, and there are several measures to ensure this. Besides being interactive, various mechanisms are introduced to ensure that all data for people is stored under a single central directory. In this way, the Aadhaar number has been introduced. The e-Aadhar card number is an alphanumeric 12-digit identifier, issued to all Indian people by the Unique Identification Authority of India.
Cardholders of Aadhaar will not have to wait long queues any longer and incur any fees to update their identity card numbers. A 12-digit random number has been used to update/alter any details listed in the Aadhaar card by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
