The government created the Aadhaar card to act as a form of identification for citizens. However, since Aadhaar has become connected to a variety of other cards, like PAN and ration cards, it has become more than just an identification card.
When applying for any government service, an Aadhar card may be used as proof of identification, proof of address, and proof of age. Aadhaar is a very versatile card in this regard, since it may be utilized for all government-related services and programs.
According to a tweet from India Post: "At your local post office, you may enroll or update your Aadhar card. 13352 centers around the country are providing Aadhar services to our citizens."
Aadhaar enrollment is free of charge in post offices.
