Summary:
NOIDA: It's been over four years since the UIDAI announced that the Aadhaar card can be used as an "age-proof"document. "We need an age proof for opening a student's account. A person as young as 10 years of age can get a student's account opened. For that, we take his school ID card," he said, adding that the Aadhaar was not considered an "authentic age-proof" because of the procedure involved in its making. But even now, the Aadhaar card is accepted only as an address-proof document in government offices.The Gautam Budh Nagar transport department is a case in point where the Aadhaar card is still being used for address verification only.Most banks also accept the Aadhaar card as address-proof and not as a valid age-proof document.Earlier, the Aadhaar cards did not have the date of birth (DOB) on the card but featured only the year of birth (YOB) of the card-holder..
