Statement 1 is incorrect. Aadhaar serves primarily as a proof of identity, not as proof of citizenship or domicile. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issues Aadhaar to residents of India, which includes both citizens and non-citizens who have resided in India for a specified period. This distinction is fundamental to the Aadhaar system and is often explicitly mentioned on the Aadhaar card itself.
Statement 2 is incorrect. The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), the issuing authority, possesses the power to deactivate or omit Aadhaar numbers. This action can be taken under specific circumstances, such as in cases of fraudulent enrolment, detection of duplicate Aadhaar numbers, or when supporting documents are found to be invalid or unverified. UIDAI has historically exercised this power to maintain the integrity of the Aadhaar database.
Since both statement 1 and statement 2 are incorrect, option 4, "Neither 1 nor 2", is the correct answer.
Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect because neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is factually correct, as elaborated in the explanation for the correct option.
