Benefits:
Why Aadhaar?

Great potential for not-so-privileged, poor and the marginalised people, mostly living in the rural areas
Clear proof of identity
Facilitate entry for poor and underprivileged residents into the formal banking system
Opportunity to avail services provided by the government and the private sector
Giving migrants mobility of identity
Financial inclusion with deeper penetration of banks, insurance and easy distribution of benefits of government schemes.
Once a person is on the Aadhaar database the person will be able to establish identity easily. Aadhaar will become the single source of identity verification. Residents would be spared the hassle of repeatedly providing supporting identity documents each time they wish to access services such as obtaining a bank account, passport, driving license and so on. By providing a clear proof of identity, Aadhaar will also facilitate entry for poor and underprivileged residents into the formal banking system and the opportunity to avail services provided by the government and the private sector. Aadhaar will also give migrants mobility of identity.

In case one does not have documents for proof – Introducer System

In the case of people who do not have documents for proof, there is an introducer system. The Registrar for enrollment can designate individuals who can vouch for the validity of a person’s information. Introducers can be government agencies, banks, teachers, village postmen, elected representatives and NGOs. Introducers will be enrolled first and given training. Their UID will be mentioned among the details of the person who gets enrolled.
