The Deputy Commissioner (Supply), West Garo Hills has informed that as per the Notification issued by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Distribution, New Delhi, India, the beneficiaries under NFSA (PHH & AAY) card holders has to furnish proof of Aadhaar number to undergo Aadhaar Authentication in ePOS (Electronic Point of Sale) machine to receive subsidies under NFSA for fair, transparent and leakage free distribution of food grains to the beneficiaries under NFSA, 2013.

Therefore, in order to ensure that all the beneficiaries under NFSA are 100 % authenticated through ePOS, the Government of India has further extended Aadhaar enrolment from 1^st July to 30^th September, 2021 so that the purpose of providing food grains under NFSA, 2013 to genuine beneficiaries will be served.

In this regard, the Nodal Officer UIDAI, West Garo Hills, Tura has directed to intensify enrolment of NFSA beneficiaries on a war footing and special attention may be accorded to physically handicapped, old age beneficiaries by organising enrolment in a camp mode so that poor and needy beneficiaries will not be deprived of their entitlement by the absence of Aadhaar card in future.
