Aadhaar serves as an identity verification document for all Indians. It aims at controlling miscreants from misusing the system for fraudulent and illegal activities. It helps put a check on the black money menace that has been corroding the economy and preventing the benefits from reaching the deserved. Apart from these benefits, it also helps with the e-KYC process that is mandatory for various financial services like bank accounts, share trading, mutual fund investments and insurance policies. A mobile number linked with your Aadhaar will also help you to e-verify your Income Tax Returns without any paper documentation.
