Get Expert Tips to Avoid Aadhaar Fraud– Alankit Limited


The rise of digital India and the government’s emphasis on digitisation has saved us from tedious paperwork but it has also left some loopholes along the way. Aadhar related frauds used to be rare and unusual but as its applications increased from a mere identification proof to a necessary document for almost all government and private institutions, its weaknesses have reached the surface. These come in the form of fraud cases related to credit card, bank accounts, loans, and other areas where Aadhar card could be misused. These deceitful people use their black magic to conjure fake identities too. While the number of people availing aadhar rises, the possibilities of frauds ascend with it. Many E-governance organizations have reported such frauds too. Organizations like Alankit fraud reports have stormed the offices as well as making daily work a lot difficult. 
Stay Safe:
To keep your guard up from these scams, the first thing you need to do is know where you have to exercise your aadhar card. Generally, the Aadhar card is asked for bank accounts, loans, insurance companies, rent resignations, loans, and other registrations. Whenever you are involved with a financial institution they tend to ask for it for verification purposes. Though a lot of independent institutions like gyms and general stores are asking it too for no specific reason. 

Lock Biometric Details:
Another foolproof way to save yourself is to lock your bio-metric data. You need to go on the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) website, there you will find the simple tab of lock/unlock bio-metric option. You need to use your registered mobile number and through an OTP you can lock your bio-metric. In case you need to use your Aadhar you can simply unlock it which is again auto-locked after a while when you are done with it. This way you don’t need to memorize the password every time.
