How to Get Started with Digital India Services

Important Tips

1. Always download apps from official sources — Use Google Play Store, Apple App Store, or links from .gov.in websites only
2. Never share OTPs — Government portals will never call and ask for your OTP or Aadhaar
3. Keep your Aadhaar mobile number updated — Most services rely on Aadhaar-linked OTP
4. Use DigiLocker documents — They are legally valid and accepted everywhere (IT Act 2000, amended)
5. Check UMANG first — Before downloading separate apps, check if the service is available on UMANG

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Are all Digital India services free?

Most Digital India apps and portals are free to use. Some services (like passport application or property registration) have their own government-mandated fees, but the digital platform itself is free.

2. Do I need Aadhaar for all government apps?

Most government services use Aadhaar for authentication, but not all require it. Some accept other identity proofs. However, having Aadhaar makes the process significantly easier.

3. Is DigiLocker safe for storing documents?

Yes. DigiLocker uses the same security infrastructure as Aadhaar (UIDAI). Documents are stored in government cloud servers and are encrypted. DigiLocker documents are legally valid under the IT Act.

4. Can I access these services without a smartphone?

Many services are available on the web and can be accessed from any computer. Some services like UMANG also work via SMS and IVR (call-based). AePS allows banking without any device — see our AePS guide.

5. What should I do if a government website is not working?

Government portals sometimes face high traffic. Try during off-peak hours (early morning or late night). Clear your browser cache, try a different browser, or use the mobile app alternative.

6. How do I report a fake government app?

Report fake apps to the Cyber Crime portal at https://cybercrime.gov.in/ or call the helpline 1930. Only download apps linked from official .gov.in websites.
