New Delhi: In today’s times, the Aadhaar card has become a vital identification for everyone. Whether it’s banking, getting a mobile SIM, availing government schemes, or enrolling in school or college, it’s required everywhere. Therefore, every India(BHARAT)n needs to have an Aadhaar card.

It is issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India(BHARAT) (UIDAI). Furthermore, the UIDAI has established certain rules that everyone must follow. Failure to follow these rules could result in imprisonment or even a fine. Let’s explore these important rules to avoid trouble.

Providing false information

If you fail to provide accurate information to the UIDAI when applying for Aadhaar, but instead provide false information, it is considered a crime. This could result in a jail term of up to 3 years or a fine of Rs 10,000. Therefore, when applying for an Aadhaar card, provide your documents and information with complete honesty.

Tampering with someone else’s Aadhaar

Changing someone else’s Aadhaar card information or tampering with their identity is also illegal. Doing so can result in a 3-year jail term or a fine of up to Rs 10,000. Therefore, do not make any changes to someone else’s Aadhaar without their permission; otherwise, it could cause serious trouble for you.

Leaking data

Sometimes, people open Aadhaar-related agencies without UIDAI approval and collect personal information. This practice is illegal and can result in a 3-year jail term and a fine of 10,000 rupees. If a company does this, it can be fined up to 1 lakh rupees. Furthermore, leaking someone else’s personal information or providing it to an unknown person is also a crime. This offence can also result in imprisonment and a fine.

Hacking Aadhaar centre

Hacking an Aadhaar Centre or attempting to steal data is considered a felony. This could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of Rs 10,000 to Rs 10 lakh.
