Aadhaar Masking kya hota hai?
Aadhaar masking ek process hai jisme Aadhaar number ke pehle 8 digits ko XXXX-XXXX se replace kiya jata hai. Sirf last 4 digits visible rehte hain — jaise XXXX-XXXX-9876. Yeh masked number document par clearly print hota hai.
UIDAI ne yeh practice introduce ki thi taaki agar koi Aadhaar copy leak ho, to complete number kisi ke haath nahi lag sake. Partial number se identity theft ka risk bahut kam ho jata hai.
Kyun important hai?
MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and IT) ke 2023 circular ke anusar, koi bhi business jab customer ka Aadhaar store kare — bank, insurance, mobile company, school — to pehle 8 digits mask karna legally mandatory hai.
Masked Aadhaar valid hai ya nahi?
Haan — UIDAI ke anusar masked Aadhaar ek fully valid identity document hai. Isse aap in sab jagah use kar sakte hain:
- Bank account KYC verification
- Mobile SIM card lena
- Insurance policy documents
