UIDAI does not have other information than above like caste, religion, family, mutual funds, shares, financial,etc..

No, Instead when you send your Aadhaar number with a bank account, mutual fund, share and mobile phone company they will only share your biometrics information and your name, etc. to UIDAI for verification of your identity. So UIDAI will reply to such verification questions with Yes or No. If they reply with yes than UIDAI send your KYC details (Name, photo, DOB) to a service provider.

Not at all, the Aadhaar card is only for residents of India. NRIs is eligible for Aadhaar card and service provider link bank, phone etc has laid the NRIs exceptional for these. The NRIs just simply tell to this service provider that they don’t require Aadhaar numbers by virtue of not being a resident of India.

(5) Can the mobile company store my biometrics taken at the time of SIM verification and use them for other purposes later?

No one has right to use your biometrics information for any purposes even mobile phone companies cannot use your biometrics information taken at the time of linking and verification of Aadhaar number, as soon as Aadhaar holder presses his finger on fingerprint sensor all this data will be encrypted and send to UIDAI for verification.

With regulation 17(1)(a) Aadhaar regulation 2016, it strictly prohibits any requesting entities which include a mobile phone, bank, etc. from sharing or storing even copying the fingerprints for whatsoever reason. If they do any violation against this then they will be punishable under the Aadhaar act 2016.
