In today’s time, we need Aadhar card for almost every important work. Whether it is to buy a new SIM card or to open an account in the bank, or if there is any government work, Aadhar card is required. Apart from this, if you want to take advantage of schemes like PM Kisan or Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), then Aadhaar card is also required for this. Because of which we should use the Aadhar card very carefully to protect our personal information. In such a situation, it also becomes very important to ensure that our Aadhar card is not being misused in any way.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the organization that issues the Aadhaar card, allows Aadhaar card users to check where and how many times their Aadhaar card has been used for verification during the last six months. . You can access up to 50 authentications of your Aadhaar through the UIDAI website and mark any use of Aadhaar that you have not done.
