FAQ :
No, Aadhaar authentication for the PFMS mobile app is strictly voluntary and not mandatory. Users can still access services without using Aadhaar.
It aims to streamline identity verification, reduce paperwork, improve transparency, and support efficient delivery of government subsidies and services by securely enabling access to payment and scheme information.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), in consultation with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), permitted the PFMS Division to perform Aadhaar authentication.
Users can alternatively verify their identity by providing their bank account number and validating an OTP sent to their registered mobile number.
The notification comes into force from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
