How to Prevent Aadhaar-Based Frauds
Keep Your Information Confidential
- Do not share your Aadhaar number, OTP, or biometric data with anyone.
Avoid Phishing Calls
- Verify the authenticity of anyone asking for Aadhaar details.
- UIDAI or banks never ask for Aadhaar details over the phone.
Use Masked Aadhaar
- Use a masked Aadhaar (where some digits are hidden) when necessary.
Check the Validity of Aadhaar Linking
- Link Aadhaar only via official websites, such as https://uidai.gov.in.
Lock/Unlock Aadhaar Biometrics
- Secure your biometric data by locking/unlocking it via the UIDAI portal.
Monitor Aadhaar Authentication History
- Check where and when your Aadhaar has been used on the UIDAI website.
