Andhra Pradesh government is going to insist on Aadhar Card link for bank account so as to ease the burden of the promised Loan Waiver. Aadhar Card link will mean that farmers who have loans in multiple banks will be identified. Government will only waive one loan per person as a result. Also there are some malpractices like taking multiple loans on same land and taking loans with fake pass books. All such loans will be identified with this Aadhar link.
There are still many farmers who do not have Aadhar cards, government is planning alternatives for that too. However this move will not go well on the part of the new government because both TDP and BJP sternly criticized Aadhar Card concept while in the opposition. Also in the past, Supreme Court had directed governments not to use Aadhar cards for financial issues. We will have to see how the government carries out this now!
