    Government ID Cards

    Identity cards are crucial as they serve as proof of who you are, ensuring safety,
    facilitating travel, and fulfilling legal requirements.

    Government ID cards are an important document issued by the


    government. Identity documents of India are increasingly used to transact and
    get government scheme benefits in India.

    Important ID Cards
    Below, we have provided information about some important government ID cards
    used in India like Aadhaar, PAN, Voter ID, Passport, Driving Licence, Ration Card,
    etc.

    Aadhaar Card

    Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number available to all residents of India. It's
    based on biometric (fingerprints, iris scans) and demographic data. Managed by
    the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Aadhaar is the world's largest
    biometric ID system.

    Voter ID Card

    The Indian Voter ID Card, also known as the Elector's Photo Identity Card (EPIC),
    is given by the Election Commission of India to Indian citizens who are 18 years
    old or older. This card helps people prove who they are when they vote in local,
    state, and national elections.

    PAN Card

    A PAN is a unique identifier issued to all judicial entities identifiable under


    the Indian Income Tax Act, 1961. It is issued by the Indian Income Tax
    Department under the supervision of the Central Board for Direct Taxes (CBDT).

    Driving License

    In India, a driving licence is a must-have document for anyone who wants to drive
    a vehicle. It is given out by the Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) across different
    states. To get this licence, you must be at least 18 years old and pass a driving
    test.

    Ration Card

    In India, a Ration Card is a crucial document for individuals living below the
    poverty line. State governments issue ration cards to families so they can get food
    at lower prices from government-subsidized shops every month under
    the National Food Security Act.
    ABC ID Card

    The ABC ID is a special 12-digit code for students in India, created under
    the National Education Policy 2020. It provides a "credit transfer" system that
    allows students to switch from one program to another. The Academic Bank of
    Credits (ABC) is designed to enable students to move freely between different
    Higher Education Institutions in the country.

    ABHA Card

    The Ayushman Bharat Health Account Card (ABHA Card), part of


    India's Ayushman Bharat scheme, is a digital health ID for Indian citizens. This
    card helps in accessing healthcare services and allows the storage of medical
    information in a centralized digital system.

    Samagra ID Card

    of Madhya Pradesh, India, to its residents. This nine-digit identifier is part of
    the Samagra Portal initiative, aimed at improving the delivery of government
    services and social welfare schemes to the citizens of the state.

    Indian Passport

    An Indian passport is a travel document issued by the Ministry of External Affairs


    of India to Indian citizens. It allows them to travel outside India and proves they
    are Indian citizens.

    OCI Card

    The Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) Card allows People of Indian Origin (PIOs)
    who were Indian citizens on or after January 26, 1950, or were eligible to become
    Indian citizens on that date, to register as Overseas Citizens of India, except for
    those who were citizens of Pakistan, Bangladesh, or other countries specified by
    the Indian government.

    Samagra ID

    them to use government services and benefits. This nine-digit identifier ensures
    quick and direct access to government services like education, healthcare, and
    food assistance for residents of Madhya Pradesh.
