UIDAI has informed people to remain alert as they never ask individuals to share their identity or address proof over email for the purpose of updating of Aadhaar card.
The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has issued a precautionary warning against sharing identity or address proof documents over email or WhatsApp for the purpose of updating their Aadhaar card. According to the authority, it never requires that anyone disclose their documents in this manner and such requests are likely to be fraudulent.
