Take these five precautions while using Aadhaar Card, fraud will never happen

Fraud cases keep coming up from time to time through Aadhaar. In view of all these matters, suggestions are issued from time to time by UIDAI, the government organization that issues Aadhaar. In such a situation, by adopting these precautions, you can easily avoid any kind of Aadhaar fraud. Let's know.
You should never use railway stations, free WiFi, and public cyber cafes for E-Aadhaar downloads. One should always use home WiFi or mobile internet to download e-Aadhaar.
It is very important to keep your mobile number updated in Aadhaar. The advantage of this is that if your Aadhaar is being linked somewhere, then you will get information about it immediately. You can update your mobile number by visiting any Aadhaar center.
You should never share your Aadhaar OTP with anyone. Usually, fraudsters try to get Aadhaar OTP from you in the name of KYC, etc. In such a situation, you should never tell Aadhaar OTP to anyone over the phone or email.
By using a masked Aadhaar card, you easily reduce the risk of fraud. In masked Aadhaar, some of the middle digits of your Aadhaar are hidden and some of the last digits are visible. You can download it by visiting the UIDAI website.
VID number can be used instead of the Aadhaar number. It is completely legal to use it. If you download Virtual Aadhaar Card from the website, then the VID number is written below it.
