NRIs, PIOs not required to link bank account with Aadhaar
The Unique Identification Authority of India has said that NRIs and PIOs are not required to link bank accounts and other services with Aadhaar. It explained that Aadhaar was meant only for those eligible to enrol for it, and most NRIs were not eligible. The body instructed implementation agencies to work out mechanisms to verify the status of such individuals.
