Features of AADHAAR Seeding

Aadhaar seeding is the process of linking an individual’s Aadhaar number with their personal identification documents or benefit cards. This allows government agencies to verify the identity of individuals and ensure that they are eligible for benefits.

Here are some of the features of Aadhaar seeding:
** It helps to prevent fraud and misuse of benefits. When an individual’s Aadhaar number is linked to their benefit card, it is more difficult for someone else to use their identity to claim benefits that they are not entitled to.
** It helps to improve targeting of benefits. By linking Aadhaar numbers to benefit cards, government agencies can ensure that benefits are targeted to the people who need them most.
** It helps to reduce administrative costs. By linking Aadhaar numbers to benefit cards, government agencies can reduce the need for manual verification of identities, which can save time and money.
