Masked Aadhaar

Use Masked Aadhaar when possible, then add purpose text.

Masked Aadhaar hides the first eight digits. I Love Watermark PDF adds context about who received the copy and why.

Why Masking Helps

A masked copy reduces exposure of the full Aadhaar number. A purpose watermark adds a visible restriction to the specific sharing event.

Best Practice

  1. Use Masked Aadhaar if the receiver accepts it.
  2. Add the recipient, purpose, date, and time.
  3. Keep a trace ID in your own log.
  4. Do not overwrite the original document.
