Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number issued to Indian people based on biometric and demographic information. Aadhaar prevents duplicate numbers among residents by being unique and linked to a person's biometrics, as well as detecting fake and ghost identities that cause leaks. No resident may have a duplicate number since it is linked to their individual biometrics, identifying fraudulent and ghost identities.
