EPFO asks banks not to deny pension over lack of Aadhaar
The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has asked banks not to deny monthly pension to people over lack of Aadhaar or if their fingerprint or iris scanning is not successful. EPFO said a life certificate could be accepted as an alternative. "Banks should also make special arrangement for...differently-abled, or senior citizens who are unable to visit Aadhaar-enrolment centres," it added.
