Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Act, 2017
General20179 sections
This Gujarat law implements the central Aadhaar Act to ensure that state government subsidies, benefits, and services are delivered accurately. It requires individuals to provide their Aadhaar number for authentication when receiving state-funded assistance, ensuring that funds from the Consolidated Fund reach the correct recipients. The legislation mandates that the state government specify which schemes require Aadhaar and allows for alternative identification methods for those without an Aadhaar number, ultimately aiming to prevent fraud and improve the efficiency of public welfare distribution.
