If she leaves her job you can only request her to change her address in aadhar card 

 

it is not advisable to mention permanent address of maid as that of your address

This could lead to serious legal consequences, including possible charges of identity fraud. Additionally, if your maid decides to leave your employment, you could be held responsible for any damage or losses she may cause while working for you. Therefore, it is best to avoid this situation altogether and find an alternative solution.

Dear client,  

It is not advisable to change the address on an Aadhaar card or open a bank account in the name of a domestic worker without their consent and without following the proper procedures and legal requirements. Doing so could be considered fraudulent and could result in legal consequences for both you and the domestic worker.

In order for the domestic worker to obtain a passport, she must have a permanent address and meet other eligibility requirements set by the passport issuing authority. If she does not have a permanent address, you may need to provide a proof of residence for her, such as a utility bill in your name at the address where she will be staying.

It is important to note that domestic workers have rights under Indian law and must be treated with dignity and respect. Changing the address on their Aadhaar card or opening a bank account in their name without their consent could be considered a violation of their rights and could lead to legal consequences.

As for the question of whether it is safe for you to travel to Europe with the domestic worker, you would need to ensure that she meets the visa and other entry requirements of the countries you plan to visit. Additionally, it is important to consider the rights of domestic workers when traveling and ensure that they are not subjected to exploitation or abuse.

It is recommended that you seek the advice of a qualified lawyer or immigration expert to understand the legal requirements and procedures for traveling with a domestic worker and to ensure that the rights of both you and the domestic worker are protected.

You cannot provide your address for her to make her aadhar card or bank account.

She has no relationship with you except she is working a a  maid in your house, hence the relationship between you and her is just an employer and employee relationship.

It is not advisable to provide your address for making her aadhar card. 

This may develop into any other type of legal complication in the future, you may not be able to foresee the future legal complications that may arise because of such wrong moves.

She may on the ill advise of any other external factor may indulge in illegal activities against you including extortion. 

Besides it is not legally correct to harbor  an unknown or a  third person under your care.

You can  avoid the future legal implications by avoiding the said proposal.

It's better to ask her for her native address and proceed accordingly.

mere holding a passport or other documents at your address would not give any right to the maid over your property 

for safety you can take an affidavit from her stating that the passport is being made at your address only for the specified purpose stated in your query and that she will not claim any equities based on that passport having your house address
