Masked Aadhaar is a version of e-Aadhaar that shows only the last 4 digits of your Aadhaar number, with the rest replaced by 'x's. It's a safer option to share when you only need to prove identity/address and don't want to expose your full Aadhaar number, such as with employers, landlords, or courier/delivery services.

Yes, most organisations that accept e-Aadhaar also accept the masked version, since it still carries UIDAI's digital signature and your name, address, and photo.
