NEW DELHI: The delivery of government subsidies, benefits or services to BPL families would not be allowed to suffer just because someone did not have an Aadhaar card , Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu told Parliament on Friday. Naidu’s assurance comes in the face of demands from Opposition parties to this effect.The issue had been taken up on Thursday, with Trinamool, Left, JDU, SP and BSP raised it in the Rajya Sabha. Addressing the concerns raised by these parties, Naidu said government departments have been asked to “take suitable action in this regard, so that individuals, who do not have Aadhaar, are not put to any hardships by way of denial of subsidy, benefit or service for want of Aadhaar.”Saying Aadhaar cards have been issued to 97 per cent of the adults in the country, Naidu asked government departments to take steps to cover the remaining three percent. “Ministries, departments, agencies, state governments that are implementing government welfare schemes and are using or proposing to use Aadhaar for benefit or service delivery are requested to take proactive steps to facilitate and ensure Aadhaar enrolment of their beneficiaries who are not having Aadhaar. And till Aadhaar is assigned to such beneficiaries, the benefits should not be denied to him and, instead, be given through alternate and viable means of identification as provided in Section 7 of the Aadhaar Act,” Naidu added.
