Hello, everyone, I am Prasanta.
As a coin has 2 opposite side similarly this initiative of making Aadhar card has pros and cons both.
First of all, I want to say Aadhar card makes our life easier. For identity proof, earlier days we need a lot of document but now we can easily do that by Aadhaar. As Aadhaar card is related to fingerprint or retina scan which can never be duplicated so false Aadhar card cannot be made which is the main drawback of other cards. For making bank account or buying sim card Aadhaar is enough. We can get passport within 10 days only. As Aadhaar is related to a bank account, sim card etc just by Aadhar card we can do a lot of things safely like money transaction by mobile, withdraw of cash in bank Etc. Corruption is decreased much like we cannot be disturbed an unknown person intentionally for getting fun as we can get all info using Aadhaar.
But it has also some cons.
If Aadhar card is hacked every personal document can be hacked even bank account also. For a handicapped person, we have to think in a different manner for making Aadhar card safely.

Hello everyone.
Making aadhaar mandatory is one of the best step by the government. Various documents of common person is now replaced by one document. Whether you want to make passport or you want to open bank account or you want to take an LPG connection aadhaar is mandator. Even our voter ID card is also linked by aadhaar card. This also reduces fraud corruption and somehow also reduces criminal activities as any information of any person can be easily identified by fingureprints or retina scan. Aadhaar reduces the duplicity and increases the transparency.
But at the same time there should be a proper security of database. Otherwise there should be a serious problem to the national security if there is any databreach.
But by making aadhaar mandatory it is a direct breach of the privacy if the control of the system goes in wrong hand.

Aadhaar is a mandatory for everyone. Nowadays details of every citizen of India is linked with aadhaar card. The number of aadhaar contains all the information related to that person, so it makes employees work easier. It is advantage in one way but on other side it also has a negative role. Where by knowing the aadhaar number some people try to misuse the information.

Hello everyone,
According to my opinion, everything has 2aspect making Aadhar mandatory has its benefits as well as flaws.
Benefits are the government has the exact number of count of the population as it is supported by unique fingerprints which were a loophole in Voter ID. It also speeds up the process of passport and will also help the government in implementing its policies and also make the life of common man easier as now they need not carry many documents Aadhar is sufficient.
Flaws- As everything is linked with Aadhar so there is the threat of data leakage as once the Aadhar is hacked then one can miss use information which must be a major concern.

Indian government provided every person to his unique identification card that is Aadhaar Card. It is very useful to everyone like.
- To open bank account only Aadhaar card is required but sometimes ago there is so many documents are required.
- To buy a new sim card only Aadhaar card is required.
- By making Aadhaar card government is able to identify every people by its fingerprint.
As we discussed above the advantages of Aadhaar card it may also some disadvantages like.
- There are may be chances of data leakage.
- By Aadhaar number may be chances of hacking of bank accounts.
Now, let me conclude that here benefits are more than drawbacks tharefore making Aadhaar card is mandatory.
Thank you.

Making Aadhaar Mandatory: Benefits and Drawbacks.
Hi Friends, My Name is Raj Sing.
As I read the comments of my friends that we all know that Aadhaar card is mandatory is good step taken by Indian government and its mandatory everywhere as a ID Proof which is good for our future it will be finish the duplicity in any filed and every one trace and identify easily with fingerprints and eye scan. By which crime will decrease and everyone thinks to do anything wrong. But it has to be some implement I think it should be started in bus or shops also by which everyone will have transparent on his work.
And about it's drawbacks one of the most issue is that data storage because it's a very huge size and the main thing is how to protect this form the hikers as recently I heard a news that UIDAI data has been stolen by some hikers I do not know it's a true or false but its really a big issue if it got hiked then everyone got a big issue.
Thanks.

Hello everyone,
Good morning to one and all.
According to my point of view, It plays a very important role in reducing fraud and cheats.
Aaadhar card is that it creates problem who are handicapped like who does not have hand, leg or other body parts so this problem is very crucial so government should solve this problem there is also a security issue so government should solve this problem. In another hand, Aadhar card will prove very helpful in the future to provide service to the person who actually needed it.

I think it is a very good step taken by the Indian government in order to give digital identity for the citizens of India.
It is so technically advanced instead of having various documents we can simply provide Aadhaar card which contain all information of man in digital form.
It plays a very important role in reducing fraud and cheats.
It also helps to search for the missing people.
But it also has some cons like data protection.
Lack of proper system for handicapped.
In the future, if the government will overcome these issues Aadhaar will play a major role in our life.

Adhar card mandatory is the one of the good decision of the Indian government. You can feel proud that there is no country in all over the world who have this kind of large information of his citizens. It proves very helpful to the transaction through BHIM app where your fingerprint is scan so less chance of fraud, as you all feel that Aadhar card replace the all other identity cards through a single card. There is another side of the Aadhar card is that it create problem who are handicapped like who does not have hand, leg or other body parts so this problem is very crucial so government should solve this problem there is also a security issue so government should solve this problem. In another hand, Aadhar card will prove very helpful in the future to provide service to the person who actually needed it.
