An Aadhaar card is required for any financial transaction and even for availing government schemes as it holds an individual’s address and biometric information.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in its recent update has announced to provide the facility to generate Aadhaar in several regional languages. The regional languages card will be issued on behalf of the Aadhaar card issuing body.
