With Aadhaar gaining so much importance in our day to day lives, it is necessary to carry the unique identity card wherever you go. This is because you never know when Aadhaar card could be asked. Which is why the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), has launched Aadhaar-mobile app, popularly known as mAadhaar, for all the Android users.

The mAadhaar app lets you access all the Aadhaar information on your smartphone. This means the customers no longer need to carry their Aadhaar card physically.
