Dear Respected members of this community,
I have a question and hopefully it's valid and hopefully I will receive some genuine answers from the senior members of this community.
I have a UAN no which is not linked to Aadhaar. I know there are some facilities I'm deprived of due to non-linking of Aadhaar. But my query is different.
Suppose the subjudice matter of mandatory Aadhaar linking decision goes in favor of GOI and Aadhaar becomes mandatory to be linked with UAN can I take a stance that I'll not link it.
Because as per Aadhar act,2016 since GOI is giving 1.16% of my basic from their consolidated fund they are supposed to ask me to link my Aadhar, but what if I don't want that money from GoI? Can I opt out of linking Aadhar? I know when I became a member of EPF automatically I became a member of EPS and Aadhar linking is mandatory for EPS. But like any other subsidy or welfare schemes in this country I should have the choice to opt in or out of it. I can claim LPG subsidy, on the other hand I can opt out of it, if I wish why can't I opt out of that 1.16% of govt money?
As per my understanding I can't opt out of it, and therefore I have to share my Aadhar, isn't it forceful submission? Shouldn't I have a choice whether I want it or not?
I'm telling again that I very well know the facilities come along with the linking, so please don't tell me about the facilities. My only concern is related to this forceful submission.
I would like to hear some genuine understandings from the senior members.
