Still without an Aadhaar card? Here is how you can enroll with UIDAI to get one

Are you denied a subsidized LPG connection or are you not able to apply for Permanent Account Number (PAN) card? This is because you do not own an Aadhaar card. This 12 digit identification number of a citizen,  acts as an official document of identification. The card is unique in its nature as it not only holds the individual's bio-data but also his or her bio-metric data.

Aadhaar is mandatory for individuals who want to avail services under the government such as LPG and kerosene subsidies, scholarships and other government welfare schemes like NREGA. It is also required to be presented as a document of an individual's identity if he or she does not own a PAN card, voter id, driver's license or passport.
