The Rajasthan Jan-Aadhaar Authority Act, 2020

General202045 sections

The Rajasthan Jan-Aadhaar Authority Act, 2020, establishes a statutory authority to regulate the Jan-Aadhaar platform, which serves as a unified system for directing public welfare benefits and services to residents of Rajasthan. Applying to all resident families in the state, the Act requires family enrolment to obtain a unique Jan-Aadhaar ID, typically designating a female adult as the head of the family to promote empowerment. This law matters because it streamlines governance by consolidating database registries, enabling secure direct digital cash transfers to bank accounts, and guaranteeing the efficient, transparent delivery of state subsidies and services directly to eligible citizens.
