Bare Act
The Chhattisgarh Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services and Protection of Information) Act, 2018
This state law in Chhattisgarh authorizes the state government and its agencies to require Aadhaar number authentication or proof of possession as a condition for receiving various government-funded subsidies, benefits, and services. It applies to any individual or group eligible for aid from the state's consolidated fund, ensuring that public assistance reaches the correct beneficiaries. By mandating Aadhaar verification, the Act aims to prevent fraud, leakages, and duplication in public welfare distribution while establishing clear identity requirements. The measure helps the state government efficiently deliver targeted financial and other support to eligible citizens through a centralised identity verification system established under a central act.
