What is Virtual ID
The Virtual ID is a random 16-digit number.
*The ID can be generated as many time as possible.
*The older ID gets automatically cancelled once a fresh one is generated.
*Users can go to the UIDAI website to generate their virtual ID which will be valid for a defined period of time, or till the user decides to change it.
*The ID, along with the biometrics of the user, would give any authorised agency, like a mobile company, limited details like name, address and photograph, which are enough for any verification.
*Agencies that undertake authentication would not be allowed to generate the Virtual ID on behalf of the user.
*UIDAI also introduced the concept of 'limited KYC', which will provide need-based or limited details of a user to an authorised agency providing a particular service
*The 'Virtual ID' will be made compulsory for all agencies undertaking authentication from June 1, 2018.Agencies failing to meet the above deadline will be faced with financial disincentives
