Special Aadhaar Process Helps Elderly Latur Farmers Access Loan Waiver

Some older farmers have fingerprints that Aadhaar machines cannot read.

A new process will help them prove who they are.

Farmers should visit an Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra with their Aadhaar card and bank passbook.

They must first try using different fingers three times.

If that does not work, they can select the option saying authentication is not possible.

The service-centre operator will then use the operator’s own fingerprint for the process.

A Tehsildar will check the farmer’s documents, including the bank passbook and 7/12 extract.

If everything is correct, eligible farmers will receive their loan-waiver benefits in their bank accounts.
