Total number of Aadhaar generated at 100.93 Cr: Pandey

Hyderabad, May 2 (UNI) Dr. Ajay Bhushan Pandey, Director General & Mission Director, Aadhaar on the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has said the total numbers of Aadhaar generated as on May 2, 2016 stand at 100.93 crore.
In a statement here today, Dr Pandey said the number of average downloads per day of Aadhaar at 6 lakh. As on date, Aadhaar downloads have crossed 40 crore. The reasons for popularity of download of Aadhaar through website can be attributed to increased usage of Aadhaar as Proof of Identity and also as proof of address by service providers and the ease with which the residents can download Aadhaar from UIDAI website.
The data in the electronic version of Aadhaar is the same as printed on the Aadhaar letter. Hence, the Aadhaar downloaded from UIDAIā€™s website has the same validity as Aadhaar card received by a resident through post and therefore, the downloaded Aadhaar is treated at par with a printed Aadhaar card received through post. The downloaded version of Aadhaar has also been notified as a valid proof of identity and address by the Reserve Bank of India.
