** Uniqueness: Aadhaar is a unique number that is assigned to each individual. No two individuals can have the same Aadhaar number.
** Portability: Aadhaar is portable, which means that it can be used across India.
** Non-transferability: Aadhaar is non-transferable, which means that it cannot be used by anyone other than the individual to whom it is assigned.
** Efficiency: Aadhaar is an efficient way to verify a person’s identity. It can be used to verify a person’s identity for a variety of purposes, such as opening a bank account, getting a mobile phone connection, or applying for a government benefit.
** Security: Aadhaar is a secure system. The biometric and demographic information that is collected at an Aadhaar Enrolment Centre is stored in a secure database.
