It is considered the world's largest national identification number project.

India’s Aadhaar Project: The Unprecedented and Unique Partnership for Inclusion
Some civil liberty groups, like Citizens Forum for Civil Liberties and Indian Social Action Forum (INSAF), have opposed the project on privacy concerns.
On 23 September 2013, the Supreme Court of India issued an interim order saying that "no person should suffer for not getting Aadhar" as the government cannot deny a service to any resident if she does not possess adhar, as it is voluntary and not mandatory. In another interim order on 11 August 2015, the Supreme Court of India ruled that "UIDAI / Aadhar will not be used for any other purposes except PDS, kerosene and LPG distribution system" and made it clear that even for availing these facilities adhaar card will not be mandatory.
