NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 11th May, 2017
S.O. 1512(E).—Whereas, the use of Aadhaar as identity document for delivery of services or benefits
or subsidies simplifies the Government delivery processes, brings in transparency and efficiency, and enables
beneficiaries to get their entitlements directly in a convenient and seamless manner and Aadhaar obviates the
need for producing multiple documents to prove one’s identity;
And whereas, the Department of Financial Services (hereinafter referred to as the Department),
Ministry of Finance in the Government of India is administering the Scheme of Atal Pension Yojana (APY)
(hereinafter referred to as the Scheme) as notified under Gazette Notification dated the 16th October, 2015

And whereas, the Central Government guarantees the minimum monthly pension and makes its
co-contribution (hereinafter referred to as the benefits) for the eligible beneficiaries for which the expenditure
is incurred from the Consolidated Fund of India;
Now, therefore, in pursuance of the provisions of section 7 of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of

Act and such individuals shall visit any Aadhaar enrolment centre (list available at Unique
Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) website www.uidai.gov.in) to get enrolled for Aadhaar.
(3) As per regulation 12 of Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Regulations, 2016, the Regulator through
its offices and the Intermediaries, which requires an individual to furnish Aadhaar, is required to offer
Aadhaar enrolment facilities for the beneficiaries who are not yet enrolled for Aadhaar and in case there
is no Aadhaar enrolment centre located in the respective Block or Taluka or Tehsil, the Regulator
through its offices and the Intermediaries is required to provide Aadhaar enrolment facilities at
convenient locations in coordination with the existing Registrars of UIDAI or by becoming UIDAI
Registrar themselves:
Provided that till the time Aadhaar is assigned to the individual, benefits under the Scheme shall be
given to such individuals, subject to the production of the following identification documents, namely:–
(a) (i) if she or he has enrolled, her or his Aadhaar Enrolment ID slip; or
(ii) a copy of her or his request made for Aadhaar enrolment, as specified in sub-paragraph (b) of

other document as specified by the Regulator;
Provided further that the above documents shall be checked by an officer specifically designated by
the Regulator for that purpose.
4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

2. In order to provide convenient and hassle free benefits to the beneficiaries under the Scheme, the
Regulator through its Offices and the Intermediaries shall make all the required arrangements including the
following, namely:—
(a) Wide publicity through media and individual notices shall be given to the beneficiaries to make
them aware of the requirement of Aadhaar under the Scheme and they may be advised to get
themselves enrolled at the nearest Aadhaar enrolment centres available in their areas by 15th June,
2017, in case they are not already enrolled. The list of locally available enrolment centres (list
available at www.uidai.gov.in) shall be made available to them.
