And whereas, Ministry of Minority Affairs (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry) in the Government of India is providing assistance in the form of scholarship benefits (hereinafter referred to as benefits) for students (hereinafter referred to as beneficiaries) through the following Central Sector schemes (hereinafter referred to as the schemes): (i) Pre-Matric Scholarship Scheme; (ii) Post-Matric Scholarship Scheme; (iii) Merit-Cum-Means Scholarship Scheme;¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º Hkkjr dk jkti=k % vlk/kj.k 3 And whereas the aforesaid schemes involve expenditure incurred from the Consolidated Fund of India; Now, therefore, in pursuance of the provisions 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 notifies the following, namely:–– 1. (1) An eligible Individual desirous of availing the benefits under the schemes is required to furnish proof of possession of Aadhaar or undergo Aadhaar authentication. (2) An individual desirous of availing the benefit under the schemes who do not possess an Aadhaar or has not yet enrolled for Aadhaar, is hereby required to apply for Aadhaar enrolment by 30th June 2017, provided he or she is entitled to obtain Aadhaar as per the 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) for Aadhaar enrolment. (3) As per regulation 12 of the Aadhaar (Enrolment and Update) Regulations, 2016, the concerned department in charge of implementation of the schemes in the State Government or Union territory Administration 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 concerned department in charge of implementation of the schemes in the State Government or Union territory Administration is required to provide Aadhaar enrolment facilities at convenient locations in coordination with the existing Registrars of UIDAI or by becoming UIDAI Registrar: Provided that till the time Aadhaar is assigned to the individual, benefits under the Schemes 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 paragraph 2; and (b) (i) Bank passbook with photograph; or (ii) Ration Card, or (iii) Permanent Account Number (PAN) Card issued by the Income Tax Department; or (iv) Passport; or (v) Certificate of identity having photo of such student issued by a Headmaster or Principal of School under official seal of the school; or (vi) Driving license issued by the Licensing Authority under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988 (59 of 1988); or (vii) any other documents specified by the State Government or Union territory Administration: Provided further that the above documents shall be checked by an officer specifically designated by the State Government or Union territory Administration for that purpose. 2. In order to provide convenient and hassle free benefits under the schemes to the beneficiaries under the schemes, the concerned department in charge of implementation of the schemes in the State Government or Union territory Administration shall make all the required arrangements including the following, namely:- (a) Wide publicity through media and individual notices shall be given to the beneficiaries through the institutes under the concerned department in charge of implementation of the schemes in the State Government or Union territory Administration to make them aware of the requirement of Aadhaar under the schemes and they may be advised to get themselves enrolled at the nearest Aadhaar enrolment centres available in their areas by 30th 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. (b) In case, the beneficiaries of the schemes are not able to enrol for Aadhaar due to non-availability of enrolment centres within near vicinity such as in Block or Taluka or Tehsil, the concerned department in charge of implementation of the schemes in the State Government or Union territory Administration is required to create Aadhaar enrolment facilities at convenient locations, and the beneficiaries may be requested to register their requests for Aadhaar enrolment by giving their names, addresses, mobile numbers with other details as specified in the first proviso to sub-paragraph (3) of paragraph 1, with the concerned official of the State Government or Union territory Administration or through the web portal provided for the purpose. 3. This notification shall come into effect from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette in all States and Union territories except the States of Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir. [F.
