Here's Your Guide To Generate Aadhaar Virtual ID Number
Virtual ID (VID) is an alternative to Aadhaar number to verify an individual's identity. UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India), the agency responsible for issuing Aadhaar card, earlier this year had announced the introduction of a 16-digit identification number (VID). "You can use VID in lieu of Aadhaar number whenever authentication or e-KYC services are performed. Authentication may be performed using VID in a manner similar to using Aadhaar number", said UIDAI on Twitter. The UIDAI had asked all agencies to start accepting VIDs from their users from June 1 this year, but recently decided to extend the deadline till August 31 for banks. Telecom companies and e-sign companies which have not implemented the new system till July 1 will have to pay 20 paise per transaction. These charges will be reversed if they comply by the end of July.
