Aadhaar number is a 12-digit random number issued by the Unique Identification Authority Of India (UIDAI) to the people of India. Even though some of the provisions in the Aadhaar Act 2016 were struck down by the Supreme Court, the UIDAI issued Aadhar serves as a very important and constitutionally valid proof across the country in larger interest.
