NEW DELHI: Government has extended the deadline for linking of biometric identification Aadhaar to small savings schemes like post office deposits, Kisan Vikas Patra by three months to March 31, 2018.
“It has now been decided to extend the last date for submission of ‘Aadhaar’ number from December 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018,” a Finance Ministry notification said.
The Government has insisted on quoting Aadhaar for bank deposits, obtaining mobile phone and several other utilities to weed out benami deals and blackmoney.
The depositor was required to submit Aadhaar number at the time of opening of account/purchasing certificates, it said. (AGENCIES)
