Your e-Aadhaar password is the combination of the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters and the year of your birth (YYYY).

For Example, if your mame is SAKSHI RAY and your year of birth is 1990. Your e-Aadhaar password in this case will be SASK1990. What about names with initials? What if your name is S.
