Big update regarding PPF-Sakunya Samriddhi Yojana, this document is mandatory, otherwise investment will freeze

New Delhi. The central government has made PAN and Aadhaar card mandatory for investing in PPF, Sukanya Samriddhi, National Savings Certificate and other post office savings schemes. The Central Government had issued an order for this on 31 March. Earlier investment could be done only on the basis of PAN. From now on, it will be necessary for the account holders to put Aadhaar number or Aadhaar enrollment slip in the small savings schemes of the government.

As per the issued order, PAN and Aadhaar will have to be submitted compulsorily. If a person wants to invest in these schemes but does not have an Aadhaar number, then he can submit the enrollment slip. After 6 months, the account holder will have to compulsorily submit the Aadhaar number. If the person fails to submit the Aadhaar number, then the investment made by him will be frozen and will be restarted only after getting the Aadhaar number.
