Why You Need Aadhaar
Aadhaar-based identification will have two unique features:
Universality, which is ensured because Aadhaar will over time be
recognised and accepted across the country and across all service
providers.
recognised and accepted across the country and across all service
providers.
The number will consequently form the basic, universal identity
infrastructure over which Registrars and Agencies across the country
can build their identity-based applications.

Unique Identification of India (UIDAI) will build partnerships with various
Registrars across the country to enrol residents for the number.
Such Registrars may include state governments, state Public Sector
Units (PSUs), banks, telecom companies, etc. These Registrars may
in turn partner with enrolling agencies to enrol residents into Aadhaar.

Aadhaar will ensure increased trust between public and private agencies
and residents. Once residents enrol for Aadhaar, service providers will no
longer face the problem of performing repeated Know Your Customer
(KYC) checks before providing services. They would no longer have to
deny services to residents without identification documents. Residents
would also be spared the trouble of repeatedly proving identity through
documents each time they wish to access services such as obtaining a
bank account, passport, or driving license etc.
By providing a clear proof of identity, Aadhaar will empower poor and
underprivileged residents in accessing services such as the formal
banking system and give them the opportunity to easily avail various
other services provided by the Government and the private sector.
The centralised technology infrastructure of the UIDAI will enable
'anytime, anywhere, anyhow' authentication. Aadhaar will thus give
migrants mobility of identity. Aadhaar authentication can be done both
offline and online, online authentication through a cell phone or landline
connection will allow residents to verify their identity remotely.

Remotely, online Aadhaar-linked identity verification will give poor and
rural residents the same flexibility that urban non-poor residents presently
have in verifying their identity and accessing services such as banking
and retail. Aadhaar will also demand proper verification prior to enrolment
while ensuring inclusion. Existing identity databases in India are fraught
with problems of fraud and duplicate or ghost beneficiaries.

while ensuring inclusion. Existing identity databases in India are fraught
with problems of fraud and duplicate or ghost beneficiaries.
To prevent these problems from seeping into the Aadhaar database,
the UIDAI plans to enrol residents into its database with proper verification
of their demographic and biometric information. This will ensure that the
data collected is clean from the beginning of the program. However, much
of the poor and under-privileged population lack identity documents and
Aadhaar may be the first form of identification they will have access to the UIDAI will ensure that its Know Your Resident (KYR) standards do not become a barrier for enrolling the poor and has accordingly developed an Introducer system for residents who lack documentation.
Conclusion
Through this system, authorised individuals ('Introducers') who already have an Aadhaar, can introduce residents who don't have any identification documents, enabling them to receive their Aadhaar.
