Because of the lack of security protections, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has severely opposed the use of PVC Aadhaar replicas purchased on the open market.
UIDAI declared in a message on its official Twitter account: We highly oppose the use of it since they lack security protections. You can order an Aadhaar PVC Card for Rs 50. (inclusive of GST & Speed post charges). Prints of PVC cards, plastic cards, or Aadhaar smart cards purchased on the street are not valid.
Aadhaar PVC Card: What Is It?
The PVC-based Aadhaar Card includes a digitally signed secure QR code with a photograph and demographic information, as well as other security features. Aadhaar PVC Cards are sent to residents’ addresses via rapid mail.
How can I get a PVC card for my Aadhaar number?
