The government on Wednesday extended by three months till March 31 the deadline for mandatory quoting of national biometric identifier Aadhaar and PAN for bank accounts and certain financial transactions. The deadline for existing bank account holders to furnish the 12-digit biometric identifier was initially December 31, 2017.
The extension has been granted “after considering various representations received and inputs received from banks,” an official statement said here. The government had last week extended the deadline for linking of PAN with Aadhaar till March 31, 2018.
Now, the deadline for bank accounts has been extended but there is no word on extending the February 6, 2018 deadline for linking mobile SIM cards with Aadhaar.
