Aadhaar Mandatory for Kerosene Subsidy, Atal Pension Yojana
June 14, 2017
The government has made it mandatory to furnish the Aadhaar number for a person to claim the benefits of Atal Pension Yojana or receive kerosene subsidy. The last date for getting Aadhaar for Atal Pension Yojana is June 15, and that for receiving kerosene subsidy is September 30. However, until the Aadhar card is received, an eligible person can use their Kisan Passbook with a photo, voter ID card, driver license, ration card, a certificate issued by a tehsildar or gazetted, and a job card under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme as a substitute.
The government has also decided to link the Aadhaar number to the bank accounts and ration cards for those who are receiving the benefits.
