    The Lok Sabha passed the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Bill, 2016 which aims to ensure targeted services to intended beneficiaries through Aadhaar cards by making them mandatory to avail government subsidies and schemes. The Aadhaar bill provides a unique identification number based on biometric data to citizens of India residing in the country for at least 182 days. While the bill could help save the government around 20,000 crores by reducing intermediaries and leakage, there are also concerns about potential misuse of biometric data and privacy issues.
