PVC Aadhar Card: An Aadhar card is a key identity proof required in almost every documentation; hence, many people opt for a PVC Aadhaar card, which is essentially the same as the regular Aadhaar card but offers greater physical durability. It resembles a PAN card in appearance and is designed to be more robust. However, ordering it comes at a slightly higher cost, and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has recently increased its fee.
