Aadhaar, a vital KYC document in India, is crucial for accessing government subsidies and welfare programs, playing a pivotal role in diverse sectors

It comes in two categories: the standard Aadhaar card for adults and 'Baal Aadhaar' designed for children under five, offering early-life enrollment

'Baal Aadhaar' is communicated through a blue letter, instructing parents to update biometrics at age five to prevent deactivation

As per the Aadhaar Act, residents, including children, can obtain an Aadhaar number by submitting demographic information

For children under 5, no biometrics are collected; instead, the UID is linked to either parent's Aadhaar, requiring biometric updates at ages 5 and 15
