In today’s digital world, carrying a paper Aadhaar card can be difficult as it easily gets torn or damaged. To solve this, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) offers an Aadhaar PVC Card. It is durable, fits easily in your wallet like a bank card, and comes with latest security features.
If you want to order one from the comfort of your home, follow this simple guide.
