The Aadhaar e-KYC has a unique number with 12 digits along with the demographic and biographic details of the individual for identification. The person’s identity can be proved through the process of Aadhaar authentication. This e-KYC is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) and is necessary to avail of government subsidies and services.
