Aadhaar, essential identification proof and a necessity to all, in India is also required for availing financial services excluding government programs. This document holds such significance that a child needs it while getting school admission, a teen while applying for his driving licence or opening a bank account and an individual while filing an ITR. Moreover, UIDAI on its official website provides several services related to Aadhaar and one such is downloading this unique 12-digit number carrying document on demand, either in Aadhaar PVC form or in soft copy.
