What is/Why Seeding?

To identify & remove duplicate, non-existing beneficiaries

To implement AADHAAR based authentication at the Point of Sale (POS) i.e., at FPS

To enable PDS/direct cash transfer for various Government Schemes

If States do not have digitised database, UIDAI shares the UID-demographic data village-wise and the beneficiary identifier no ( Ration Card, Job card etc) can be seeded into this database.

Linking of Ration Card details, Aadhaar number, Name,

Bank Account Details and Mobile number.
