Masked Aadhaar Card to add to the security factor
Masked Aadhaar Number will imply replacing the first 8 digits of the Aadhaar Number with characters like “xxxx-xxxx” while only the last 4 digits of the Aadhaar Number will be visible. UIDAI has warned citizens to not share their Aadhaar Card Number with any individual or organization for risk of misuse. If a private organization without a UIDAI user license is asking for a copy of your Aadhaar card, you can simply provide them with your masked Aadhaar Number. The Masked Aadhaar Number will only expose the last four digits of your Aadhaar Card Number. However, the government later ended up withdrawing the notification.
