Airtel Payments Bank Row: Government Directs NPCI To Change Process Of Aadhaar Mapping For Subsidy Transfer
Aadhaar cards
The Centre has directed all banks and the National Payments Corporation of India to change the process used for mapping Aadhaar-linked bank accounts for receiving government subsidies, reports The Economic Times. Apart from changing how the mapping system works, the government is also freezing the current system wherein the last mapped account overrides previously linked accounts.
The Unique Identification Authority of India in its statement said:
The UIDAI has asked for the the Aadhaar Payment Bridge overriding to be disabled immediately till the newer system comes in to place. It has also said that any violation of the new directives would be construed as violations of Sections 37, 40, 41, 42, and 43 of the Aadhaar Act, 2016.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
