Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Section 9 of the Aadhaar Act expressly says that Aadhaar is *not* proof of citizenship or domicile, making Statement 1 false. Under Regulation 28 of the Aadhaar (Enrolment & Update) Regulations 2016, UIDAI can deactivate or omit an Aadhaar number for reasons such as duplication or death, so Statement 2 is also false; hence neither statement is correct.
