Recently, there was a big advertisement in most of the newspapers about submitting Aaadhaar card details to LPG distributors to avail of the subsidy. It gave a format which requires the xerox of the front of the Aadhaar Card.
But the Aadhaar card sent by the UIAID is about 10 inches long and the bottom quarter of the card, separated from the rest by a dotted line, contains the photograph, the card number, the bar code, name and year of birth on the front and the address at the back. Many people have assumed that this portion (which is the size of a visiting card and fits in a wallet) is the actual Aadhaar card and so have cut at the dotted line. One such person called our office and said that he has only that portion of the original card and wanted to know if a xerox of the front and back of that portion will do. Will some official from the the oil companies clarify?
