Aadhaar Virtual ID (VID)
In this hotch-potch atmosphere, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has introduced a new fresh layer of security – Aadhaar Virtual ID (VID), Limited KYC and UID Tokens – for Aadhaar card holders.
The Virtual ID will be a 16-digit random number mapped with the Aadhaar number. You will be able to generate a temporary 16-digit number that can be shared instead of the Aadhaar number for various services like airline or railway counters. It will be issued from 1st March 2018. It’s really an innovative way for safety & security for Aadhaar database.
