The MEF had undertaken this project as part a community service initiative.
Here's an update for 2017:
As you know, over the years since its inception in 2009, the 12 digit Unique Identity Number called Aadhaar has become more widely accepted. An estimated 88 % of India's population or some 1.12 billion people have already been issued with the Aadhaar card says this article in The Economic Times.
Now it is required that you have an Aadhaar card for opening a bank account and for any transaction over Rs 50,000. The Aadhaar card is also required to be mentioned when you file your Income Tax returns.
I am sure most of our members already have the Aadhaar card. If by chance you do not, please get this done at the earliest.
