No extension of time for linking Aadhaar to welfare schemes: Supreme Court
No extension of time for linking Aadhaar to welfare schemes: SC The Supreme Court refused to pass an interim order that led to extending the deadline of March 31 for linking of Aadhaar with the welfare schemes where benefits are transferred to citizens from the Consolidated Fund of India. The apex court had on March 13 extended indefinitely the March 31 deadline for linking bank accounts and mobile phone numbers with Aadhaar. However, it had allowed the government and its agencies to link the 12-digit national biometric identifier number of the beneficiaries for transfer of benefits of schemes funded from this fund. -PTC News
