How to get a PVC Aadhaar Card for Rs. 50 from UIDAI?

I have friends who have ordered 2. One to carry on their person when they are traveling & the second is kept at home as a backup.

People applying now are actually getting sms from UIDAI & India post with tracking info. Seems they are better organized now as compared to last year.

Can someone confirm if the PVC aadhaar does NOT contain Post office details in the address while e-aadhaar does?

PVC aadhaar is only the bottom part of the actual long aadhaar card. It will only have the permanent address.

Nop, just verified post office name is printed on e-aadhaar while it is omitted from the PVC card. Check yours...

Checked all 4 PVC aadhaar cards in my family before posting here. All of them have full permanent address printed on the back side.

Exactly looks like below sample.

E-Aadhaar has the exact same address mentioned as in physical aadhaar i.e. full permanent address.

Mine has the post office name too. Never really understood why. This becomes a major hassle when using this as an address proof.

Woah. Defeats an important purpose of it.

My e-aadhaar has post office name while PVC does not. This actually suits me because post office name creates unnecessary confusion. Because post office is not in my sector. Hence in the address, 2 sector names are present which is a big hassle.

What was the purpose of Aadhar though?
