(Department of Fisheries)
NOTIFICATION
New Delhi, the 22nd November, 2019
S.O. 4256(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 to them 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 Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying (hereinafter
referred to as the Department) in the Government of India is administering the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Blue
Revolution: Integrated Development and Management of Fisheries (hereinafter referred to as the Scheme) which is
implemented by the concerned Department in the State Governments and Union Territory Administration (hereinafter
referred to as the Implementing Agency) across the country;
And whereas, under the scheme, the subsidy (hereinafter referred to as the benefits), is given inter-alia, to the
fishers, fish farmers, fish workers and individual entrepreneurs (all of whom hereinafter referred to as the beneficiaries),
towards central assistance under different components & sub-components as per the extant scheme guidelines;4 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : EXTRAORDINARY [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
And whereas, the aforesaid Scheme involves recurring expenditure incurred from the consolidated Fund of
India;
Now, therefore, in pursuance of section 7 of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies,
Benefits and Services) Act, 2016 (18 of 2016) (hereinafter referred to as the said Act), the Central Government hereby
requires the following, namely:-
1. (1) Every eligible beneficiary desirous of availing benefits under the Scheme is hereby required to furnish proof
of possession of Aadhaar number or undergo Aadhaar authentication.
(2) Every eligible beneficiary desirous of availing benefits under the Scheme, who does not possess the Aadhaar
number or, has not yet enrolled for Aadhaar, shall have to apply for Aadhaar enrolment provided he or she is entitled to
obtain Aadhaar as per section 3 of the said Act and such individuals may 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 Implementing Agency,
which is responsible for implementation of the Scheme, 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 Implementing Agency shall provide enrolment facilities at convenient locations
in coordination with the Registrars or by becoming Registrar itself :
Provided that till the time Aadhaar is assigned to the individual, benefit under the Scheme shall be given to such
individuals, subject to the production of the following documents, namely:-
(a) if he/she has enrolled, his/her Aadhaar Enrolment Identification slip; and
(b) any one of the following documents, namely:-
(i) Bank Passbook or Post Office Passbook with photo; or
(ii) Voter Identification Card; or
(iii) Permanent Account Number (PAN) Card; or
(iv) Passport; or
(v) Driving License issued by Licensing Authority under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (59 of 1988); or
(vi) Ration Card; or
(vii) Kisan Credit Card; or
(viii) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) Job Card; or
(ix) Certificate of identity having photo of such person issued by a Gazetted Officer or a Tehsildar on an
official letter head; or
(x) any other document as specified by the Department:
Provided further that the above documents shall be checked by an officer designated by the Department for that purpose.
2. In order to provide convenient and hassle free benefits to the beneficiaries under the Scheme, the Implementing
Agency shall make all the required arrangements to ensure wide publicity through media shall be given to the
beneficiaries to make them aware of the requirement of Aadhaar under the Scheme.
3. In all cases where Aadhaar authentication fails either due to poor biometrics of the beneficiaries or due to any
other reason, the following remedial mechanisms shall be adopted, namely:-
(a) in case of poor fingerprint quality, Integrated Risk Information System scan or face authentication facility shall
be adopted for authentication, thereby the Implementing Agency shall make provisions for Integrated Risk
Information System scanners or Face Authentication along with fingerprint authentication for delivery of
benefits in seamless manner;
(b) in case the biometric authentication through fingerprint or Integrated Risk Information System scan or face
authentication is not successful, wherever feasible and admissible, authentication by Aadhaar One Time
Password or Time-based One-Time Password with limited time validity, as the case may be, shall be offered;
(c) in all other cases where biometric or Aadhaar One Time Password or Time-based One- Time Password
authentication is not possible, benefits under the Scheme may be given on the basis of physical Aadhaar letter
whose authenticity can be verified through the Quick Response code printed on the Aadhaar letter and the¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)] Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 5
necessary arrangement of Quick Response code reader shall be provided at the convenient locations by the
Implementing Agency.
4. This notification shall come into effect from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette in all the States
and Union Territories, except the State of Assam and Meghalaya.
