The objective of the NPR is to create a comprehensive identity database of every usual resident in the country. The data for National Population Register was collected in 2010 along-with the house-listing phase of Census of India 2011.

The data collected in NPR will be sent to UIDAI for de-duplication and issue of Aadhaar Number. Thus the register will contain three elements of data – (i) demographic data, (ii) biometric data and (iii) the Aadhaar (UID Number).

Under the NPR, certain processes like the collection of data at the doorstep of the individual by authorized persons, collection of biometrics after following a certain process, authentication through social audit, verification by Local authorities etc.

Providing any false information in NPR survey would attract penalties under Citizenship Rules 2003. Also don't cry if your 'Aadhar Card' is cancelled or your name is eliminated from 'Voter List' or your name got disappeared from some Government scheme.
