Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has refused to share information on fake Aadhaar cards. It might affect the national security or can lead to incitement says UIDAI.

UIDAI which issues the card also denied giving details of action it has taken in such cases. UIDAI’s Central Identities Data Repository (CIDR) facilities, information assets, logistics and infrastructure and dependencies, have been classified as ‘Protected System’, under the Section 70(1) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, while replying to a query officials said.

The information sought would fall under Section 8(a) of the RTI Act, and therefore, it is denied, the UIDAI said.The Aadhaar card carries 12-digit unique identification number. The card acts as a proof of identity and address.
