A PVC Aadhaar card is a newer and more durable version of the traditional paper-based Aadhaar card. It is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material and is a credit-card-sized version of the Aadhaar card that contains all the same information as the original. The PVC Aadhaar card is tamper-proof, more secure, and can be carried in a wallet without the risk of getting damaged or torn like the paper-based version. It comes with several smart features like a secure QR code, hologram, micro text, and ghost image, making it a highly secure and tamper-proof form of identification. The card also includes the issue date and print date, along with an embossed Aadhaar logo, making it easy to verify the authenticity of the card. The PVC Aadhaar card can be ordered online by paying a nominal charge of Rs. 50/-. It is equivalent to the paper-based Aadhaar letter and can be used for offline verification of identification.
