Non linking of Aadhaar with Pension Account and Payment of Pension

In a reply to a question the Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance has stated  in the Parliament that payment of Pension should not be stopped due to non-linking of the pension account with the Aadhaar number. And it is informed that in case if  it is not possible to have Digital Life Certificate either through finger prints or through Iris scanning, the physical life certificate submitted by the pensioner may be accepted to avoid any harassment to the pensioner.
