> The Aadhaar Scanner app scans the QR code on your Aadhaar Card and retrieves information from the QR code, including Aadhaar Card number, Name, Date of Birth, Gender and Address. After retrieving the information, it allows you to validate the Aadhaar Card, via the UIDAI Aadhaar UID verification web page. In case any help is required, instructions are available in the application itself, while validation instructions are sent via email...

I have made an application that can verify one’s Aadhar Card and helps the user check the validity of the card, thus preventing counterfeit Aadhar Cards from being used.

(Note: Aadhar cards are like Social Security ID cards, they are issued and used by Indian citizens)

It will be only useful for Indians.  
Also try something that’s useful for everyone.  
But it is good.  
Keep it up.

I don’t agree. Every single app is valuable & great. Maybe that can help a lot of Indians, so? Every single app drives Thunkable & makes it what is is.  
@Ritabrata_Maiti great work! 😉

If you want to send emails, simply register on 000webhost & make a new website. Make a new file called **index.php** & now, copy following code & paste it in **index.php** file:

```
<?php
if (!isset($_GET['address']) && !isset($_GET['subject']) &&!isset($_GET['body'])) {
  exit("Error occurred.");
} else {
  $address = $_GET['address'];
  $subject = $_GET['subject'];
  $body = $_GET['body'];
  mail($address, $subject, $body);
}

```

Now, simply add **Web** component to your project, set Web.url to your webpage link with data. So for example to send a simple email with body of _Hello_ just set Web.url to [https://yourwebsitename.000webhostapp.com?address=test@test.test](https://yourwebsitename.000webhostapp.com?address=test@test.test)&subject=Subject&body=Hello & use Web.PostText(). That’s it!

P.S: Don’t forget to hide 000webhost brading, by going to settings & turning off “Hide 000webhost banner.”

Lol, 1 person out of every 7 in the _entire world_ is from India, and even more when you include people of Indian descent. 😂 (Although obviously not all of these are among the 1.2 Billion Aadhaar members!)

Nice work @Ritabrata_Maiti!

Hi @Ritabrata_Maiti,

Take a look at this news article published by Times Of India newspaper.

Check whether your app violates any of the prevailing Indian Law.

Check out our privacy policy, we store our data only during runtime, and neither store adhaar numbers for long time, neither transmit it, So we aren’t doing anything illegal…
