Nano banana pro generating fake Aadhaar and PAN card

Overview

  • Bengaluru technologist Harveen Singh Chadha posted AI-made PAN and Aadhaar images on X using the name “Twitterpreet Singh,” warning that visual checks can be fooled.
  • Times Now and other outlets tested the tool and reported high visual fidelity in layout, spelling and formatting.
  • The generated cards carried a visible Gemini mark along with Google’s invisible SynthID fingerprint designed to flag AI-origin images.
  • Commenters highlighted practical mitigation like QR or database verification and SynthID scanning via the Gemini app, yet noted that many venues still rely on simple photocopies or quick glances.
  • Reports noted that comparable prompts were declined by ChatGPT and Perplexity, and there were no announced changes from Google or Indian authorities in response.
