Finance Ministry issued a notice: The Finance Ministry issued a notice last day saying that Aadhaar and PAN will be mandatory for investing in small savings schemes issued by the government.


PPF-SSY Rule Change: The government has changed the rules for those investing in Public Provident Fund (PPF), Senior Citizen Saving Scheme (SCSS), Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), Mahila Samman Yojana and Post Office. Now those investing in these schemes must have PAN and Aadhaar (AADHAAR) card. This change has come into effect from April 1, 2023. If you have also invested in these government savings schemes and do not have PAN or Aadhaar card, then you should get it done as soon as possible.

Changed to make it transparent

If you do not do this, you will not be allowed to invest in these schemes. This change has been made by the government with the aim of making investment in these schemes more transparent and easy. This change has also been made to protect the rights of investors in these schemes. Recently, the Finance Ministry issued a notice saying that Aadhaar and PAN will be mandatory for investing in small savings schemes issued by the government. Earlier, one could invest in these schemes even without an Aadhaar number.

It is necessary to show PAN card to invest

It has been said in the notice that investors will have to submit Aadhaar number before making any kind of investment. Also, to invest beyond a limit, PAN card has to be shown. This change has been done to make investment in government-run schemes more transparent and easy. If you do not have Aadhaar card then you have to submit Aadhaar number within six months after opening the account. If you are investing more than a certain limit, then you will also have to submit PAN card. You will need these documents to open a Small Savings Scheme account-

  • Passport size photo
  • Aadhaar number or Aadhaar enrollment slip
  • PAN number, if existing investors do not submit PAN card and Aadhaar card by 30 September 2023, then their account will be banned from 1 October 2023.
