There are already "benefit" cards like LPG card, ration card, BPL card, etc to get those benefits. Why bother with Aadhar then? The answer is, consolidation. Aadhar is meant to be the identity card. I don't want to carry big passport book, etc. wherever I go.

That consolidation, when combined with biometrics, means you can never get it replaced. Your only recourse to identity theft with your biometrics, or the fact that biometric error rates are very high, is to just live with it.

PAN card and Drivers license already works, bank passbook all works as identitification document. You don't need passport for that.

Yeah I agree and understand what you are saying but this does not contradict what I said earlier in any way.
