Aadhaar card, Mobile number linking last dates, all you must know; full list here

Time limits have also been fixed by the government to link one’s Aadhaar number to such things or schemes.

If you thought that opening a bank account or filing an income tax return are the only few things which require Aadhaar cards now, then think again. The fact is that the government has made Aadhaar mandatory for so many things, including availing the benefits of various social and financial schemes. Not only this, time limits have also been fixed by the government to link one’s Aadhaar number to such things or schemes. For instance, one is required to link one’s Aadhaar with PAN by December 31, 2017. The government has also made Aadhaar mandatory for opening bank accounts as well as for doing financial transactions of Rs 50,000 and above, and all the existing account holders have been asked to submit their Aadhaar numbers to the concerned banks by December 31, 2017, failing which their accounts will become invalid.
