Pensions

SEBI

The Securities Exchange Board of India accepts Aadhaar Card as both address and identity proof. This has eased out investment criteria and has made the stock market transactions better. Also, there is a proposal for linking your account and Aadhaar Card to curb the practice of money laundering. Investors make fake Demat accounts and then push the illegal money in the stock market. So, the government might mandate its linkage too.

But now the details of the pensioners can be accessed digitally using the digital life certificate, thanks to the Aadhaar card. It was launched by the Department of Electronics and IT as ‘Jeevan Praman for Pensioners.’

This scheme offered numerous benefits like RuPay Card, life & accident insurance, zero balance savings account, etc.

Voter Card Linking

Many people are indulged in the fraudulent activity of having multiple voter ID cards. This practice led to an unfair system of election. Thus, to eliminate bogus voters Aadhaar Card should be linked to the voter ID card which will make it impossible for a person to hold multiple voters’ id.

Aadhaar Card is now widely accepted and is considered to have the utmost significance. In the coming days, it is definitely going to serve the nation directly as well as indirectly. It is not a mere id proof but has also structured several procedures and unified the system.
