Centre proposes to extend deadline for linking aadhaar with govt schemes

New Delhi, Oct 25 (IBNS): The central government has proposed to extend the deadline for linking Aadhaar to bank accounts and mobile phones.

The Centre has suggested that the last date for linking Aadhaar to bank accounts and mobile phones can be extended from Dec 31, 2017 to Mar  2018, but only exclusively to those who are “willing to enroll for Aadhaar”, said reports.

Earlier,  the Reserve Bank of India had clarified that linking Aadhaar number with bank accounts is mandatory for everyone.

It may be noted that those already possessing Aadhaar card will have to sync their Aadhaar numbers with SIM cards, bank accounts, PAN and “other schemes where Section 7 (Aadhaar Act) notifications have been issued”.
