UIDAI had warned against sharing them to avoid ‘misuse’

Two days after it issued an advisory cautioning people against sharing a photocopy of their Aadhaar card, the government on Sunday withdraw the notification, claiming that it could be “misinterpreted”. A perusal of past tweets by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which manages Aadhar, shows the about-turn reveals confusion on its policy regarding photocopies of Aadhaar.

The Bengaluru Regional Office of the UIDAI, on May 27, published a notification asking people to not share photocopies of their Aadhaar card as it could be “misused”.

That notification also advised against using a public computer to download electronic versions of the Aadhar and only those organisations with a ‘user licence’ from the UIDAI could use Aadhar for establishing a person’s identity. Hotels and cinema halls weren’t authorised to collect photocopies of Aadhar.

Following this advisory on May 27, social media erupted with claims that the advisory had come too late as several outlets, ranging from hospitals to hotels, insisted on retaining photocopies of Aadhar cards.
