President gives final clearance to Aadhaar Bill
President Pranab Mukherjee has given the final clearance to the Aadhaar Bill, which will now allow the government to make the 12-digit unique identity number compulsory to access government services and benefits. However, officials said the Aadhaar Act can only come into force later. The rules detailing the enrolment process and some key appointments need to be made, they added.
