<h1>Aadhaar Authentication Now Mandatory for Income Certificates Under Section 7 of the Aadhaar Act</h1> The Delhi Lieutenant Governor approved a proposal to mandate Aadhaar authentication for issuing income certificates under Section 7 of the Aadhaar Act, 2016. This measure aims to prevent irregularities in issuing income certificates, which are used to determine eligibility for various government schemes and subsidies. The requirement eliminates the need for multiple identity documents and aligns with the UIDAI's 2019 authorization allowing states to mandate Aadhaar for beneficiary identification in state-funded schemes. The Revenue department has been directed to publicize this change to ensure public awareness. Individuals must possess an Aadhaar to access benefits under government schemes.
