Maharashtra to link its schemes for poor with Aadhaar
In an attempt to promote cashless transactions post note ban, Maharashtra Cabinet on Tuesday mandated the linking of Aadhaar with its schemes for the poor, reports said. The amount related to the scheme will directly be transferred to the beneficiaries' accounts, Finance Minister Sudhir Mungantiwar said. Transferring cash directly will plug leakages owing to bogus beneficiaries, reports added.
