The number is linked to resident’s basic demographic and biometric information which are then stored in the centralized database. Being the largest biometric ID in the world, there have been growing concerns regarding it. The main concerns areprivacy, potential for surveillance and exclusion of eligible beneficiaries from welfare schemes from the leveraging of Aadhaar based systems. Due to which, the Aadhaar project validity is being challenged in the supreme court of India, till date.
