Refusing benefits over lack of Aadhaar violates norms: UIDAI
UIDAI CEO Ajay Bhushan Pandey has said that denial of government benefits because of lack of Aadhaar or problems in its authentication is violation of norms and that the violators should be punished. Terming Aadhaar as a technology for people's empowerment, he said, holding Aadhaar responsible for denial of benefits is a misconstrued fact presented with mala fide intent.
