what is the national identification number in india
National identification number As World's biggest Biometric ID Programme,[15] the Indian Government on 28 January 2009, established an Authority called the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to issue a Unique Identification Number to all citizens and residents of India. UIDAI's Aadhaar card project[16] gives each Indian citizen a unique 12 digit identification number, along with recording their biometrics such as iris scan and fingerprints on a UIDAI database and the card is being rolled out to all eligible citizens. The first Aadhaar number was launched in Maharashtra in the village of Tembhli, on 29 September 2010.[17] So far up to February 2016, 984 million (98 crores) Aadhaar Numbers have been issued.[18] In October 2015, 93 percent of adult Indians have an Aadhaar card.[19] There is no Aadhaar smart card but UID information of a card can be printed on a piece of paper or on a plastic card.[20] After the recent order by the supreme court of India Aadhar card is not mandatory for availing public services.

The terms lakh or lac (100,000 or 1,00,000 in the Indian system) and crore (10,000,000 or 1,00,00,000 in the Indian system)[1] are used in Indian English to express large numbers.
