The initial eight digits of an Aadhaar number are supplanted with characters like "xxxx," leaving just the last four digits open. In the present computerized age, an Aadhaar card is expected to get government appropriations and advantages from various government-run social projects. It is likewise required while opening a ledger.

In any case, it has been seen that under the name of online KYC, an Aadhaar card holder turns into a casualty of online extortion. Thus, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has made "Covered Aadhaar" to safeguard Aadhaar card holders against online extortion.

Clients who are stressed over uncovering their Aadhaar number or who need to conceal the data of their Aadhaar number can use a Masked Aadhaar. You can camouflage your Aadhaar number in your downloaded e-Aadhaar using the Mask Aadhaar choice, as indicated by UIDAI norms.
