Explanation
The Aadhaar Act, 2016 provides enrolment for residents (present in India 182 days or more), not only citizens, so NRIs and long-term residents may also enrol. UIDAI is responsible for enrolment, authentication, and identity security, and both demographic and biometric information are collected. Hence A is not a feature of the Act.
