Imagine, you suddenly need Aadhaar card for some work and you do not have it. Now you don’t need to worry at all. The government has started such an amazing facility, through which you can download your Aadhar card, PAN card and other important documents directly on your WhatsApp within minutes.

How is this amazing?

The government has started a service called ‘MyGov Helpdesk’, which has now also come on WhatsApp. This is a kind of robot, which chats with you and helps you. It is directly linked to ‘DigiLocker’, which is your online government locker where all your documents remain safe.

Let us see how to download Aadhaar card (very easy):

1. First of all, save this number in your phone: 9013151515 (You can save it with any name like MyGov or Sarkari Dost).
2. Now open WhatsApp and go to the chat of this number. Just write ‘Hi’ or ‘Namaste’ and send it.
3. A reply will come from there and you will be asked two options – Cowin or DigiLocker. You have to select ‘DigiLocker Services’.
4. Now it will ask whether you have a DigiLocker account or not. You click on ‘Yes’.
5. After this, type your 12 digit Aadhaar number without any space and send it.
6. An OTP (a code) will come on the mobile number linked to your Aadhar card. After seeing it, type it in WhatsApp chat and send it.
7. As soon as the OTP is found correct, you will see a list of all the documents saved in your DigiLocker. Select the option ‘Aadhaar Card’.

And that’s it, in just a few seconds your Aadhar card will be generated as a PDF file and will come on your WhatsApp!

How safe and beneficial is it?

This facility not only saves your time, but is also completely safe because it is a government service. If you are traveling somewhere or suddenly have to show Aadhaar card to someone, then this method is very useful.

Yes, keep one thing in mind that to avail this facility, it is very important for your mobile number to be linked to your Aadhar card. So gone are the days of handling bulky files, your phone is your on-the-go document holder!
