1. UIDAI is a statutory authority established under which Act?

It established the framework for providing a unique identifier to every resident in India.

2. How many digits does an Aadhaar number consist of?

This unique identification code is a random string of numbers that never starts with zero or one. It is issued based on biometric data like fingerprints and iris scans to prevent the creation of duplicate identities. The length of this sequence is standardized across the country to serve as a robust proof of identity for various government services.

5. In which year did "UIDAI" begin issuing Aadhaar numbers?

The project was launched over a decade ago with the first few numbers being handed out in a tribal village in Maharashtra. It marked the start of one of the largest biometric programs in history. Since then, the vast majority of the population has been covered, enabling direct benefit transfers and eliminating leakages in the welfare system.
