Venkaiah Naidu: Subsidies and benefits would not be denied to non-aadhaar holders

[Sushubh]

Here is the caveat:

"Ministries, departments, agencies, state governments that are implementing government welfare schemes and are using or proposing to use Aadhaar for benefit or service delivery are requested to take proactive steps to facilitate and ensure Aadhaar enrolment of their beneficiaries who are not having Aadhaar. And till Aadhaar is assigned to such beneficiaries, the benefits should not be denied to him and, instead, be given through alternate and viable means of identification as provided in Section 7 of the Aadhaar Act," Naidu added.

Aadhaar or not, no one will be denied benefits, subsidies: Venkaiah Naidu - Times of India

They just expect you to apply for Aadhaar. It does not get into their brain that there are people who do not want to get an Aadhaar Card.
