Download the digital Aadhaar (mAadhaar) instead of carrying the paper copy
Accepted everywhere the paper card is, without the paper card. Fewer than five independent reports so far, so it is still unverified — try it and file one.
Why it works
The mAadhaar app version is officially valid ID wherever Aadhaar is accepted, and it cannot be forgotten at home or left behind in a photocopy pile the way a paper card can.
Did it work for you?
One report per person. This is the only thing that moves the badge — there is no like button.
