'Govt can save ₹1 lakh cr by tackling bogus a/c'
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday said weeding out bogus beneficiary accounts would help save the exchequer around ₹1 lakh crore annually. This could be achieved by linking pension, subsidy, scholarship and other benefits to Jan Dhan Yojna bank accounts and Aadhaar, he added. He further said the bank accounts in Jan Dhan Yojna have surged to 21.80 crore.
