The Aadhar system is a project of the Indian government to implement an identity system for all Indian residents. It collects personal information and stores it in a central database. The system was launched in 2009 and has been rolled out progressively to cover all Indian residents.
Aadhaar error is a problem that has been faced by many Indians due to the lack of clarity on how the Aadhaar card should be used. Though it is one of the most widely used cards, there are some who do not want to use it because they are worried about their data being leaked or misused.
