Can you explain the implications of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016 in simple terms?
The Aadhaar Act provides legal backing to Aadhaar, an identification system based on biometric data. It allows the government to use Aadhaar for delivering various subsidies and services. However, it raises concerns about privacy and data security. The Supreme Court has ruled that Aadhaar is constitutionally valid but limited its mandatory use.
