a. Only 1
b. Only 2
c. Both 1 and 2
d. None of the above

ANSWER: Only 2
 
As of July 2015, the legislation to back UIDAI is still pending in the Parliament of India. Earlier NRI were not eligible to apply for AADHAAR Card. But later Government of India realized the need and approved AADHAAR Card for NRI as well as resident foreign citizens. However at the moment there are no provisions to get AADHAAR Card for NRI at Indian Embassy, outside India. There is no provision to apply for AADHAAR Card online either. Applicants can optionally take a prior appointment for a future date online.
