Does linking my bank account, PAN, and other services with Aadhaar make me vulnerable?keyboard_arrow_down

No. As your bank information is not shared by the bank with anyone else, no one can have information about your bank account just by knowing your Aadhaar number. Also, UIDAI or any entity for that matter would not have any information about your bank account. For example, you give your mobile number at various places and to various authorities such as bank, passport authorities, income tax departments, etc. Would the telecom company have access to your bank information, income tax returns, etc.? Obviously no! Similarly, when you provide Aadhaar number to various service providers, your detail remains with the respective service providers and no single entity including the Government or UIDAI will have access to your personal information spread across various service providers.

What are rooted devices?keyboard_arrow_down
Rooting is the process of allowing users of smart phones, tablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android subsystems.
Does mAadhaar works on rooted devices?keyboard_arrow_down
No, mAadhaar does not works on rooted devices.
Where multiple address proofs are available for a resident (eg. present and native), which proof would UIDAI accept, and where will it send Aadhaar Letter?keyboard_arrow_down

The UIDAI asks the resident to confirm the addresses (from the multiple address proof) on which he/ she wants his/ her Aadhaar letter to be delivered. Based on resident’s choice, UIDAI captures the detail as per supporting documents.
