Aadhaar enrolments are set to cross the 100 crore mark in a few days from now. The development will boost the government's plan to provide subsidies under various social sector schemes directly to the needy.<br/><br/>As per the website of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), which is implementing the Aadhaar project, 99.91 crore is the total number of Aadhaars issued as on date. The website says, the number will be updated shortly.<br/><br/>The Parliament has already passed the Aadhaar Bill, providing statutory backing to the scheme. It wants to complete the AADHAR enrolment process at the earliest to start providing the benefits to all targeted people. Under the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) scheme, benefits like scholarships, pension and cooking gas subsidy are directly transferred to beneficiaries' bank accounts.<br/><br/>The government intends to use Aadhaar as a tool to authenticate the identity of people to weed out ghost beneficiaries and plug leakages in spending on various schemes.
