While there is no single mandatory document, the following documents are used in lieu of a national identity documents but there is some key documents list which are acceptable as a identity proof of Indian citizens, 1. Passport:- why passport is major important identity proof.Because before getting Indian passport citizens has to go through a strict criteria like police verification a letter from your gram panchayat Pradhan and 10th class mark sheet for date of birth as well birth of certificate will be demand by passport immigration officers. 2. Aadhaar card:- while on Aadhaar card they have a unique reference number with that officer can see you details online it’s not easy to check via unique reference number still it’s could be effective. 3.Birth Certificate:- it’s a useless thing to accept this certificate as a identity proof because in India due to highest corruption illegal immigrants can easily make this certificate from any hospital of India, so this is accepted by Indian government but in practically it’s worst decision. 4.National resident card(NRC):- this certificate/ card issued from immigrants those settled in India[1][2]

Issues
A large number of people remain without identity documents - poor people especially. In order to include them, identity requirements for Aadhaar have been reduced, however biometric facilities have been provided to reduce or eliminated duplication, so while it may be possible to obtain the card under a false name, it is less likely to be able to obtain another Aadhaar card under a different (or real) name, though there have been cases where the biometrics has been circumvented.[citation needed][3]
There was a criticism that India has too many Identity systems, and they are not consistently accepted. As a solution, GOI introduced Aadhaar Cards in 2012, which is most widely accepted identification document in India and can be easily obtained by any person of any age group.
