If you live in Delhi and want to take advantage of government schemes or scholarships, then an income certificate is a very important document for you. It is useful for reservations in government jobs, financial assistance, and many other facilities. But now there has been a big change in the rules for getting an income certificate in Delhi. Now those applying for the first time will have to strengthen their preparation a little more. Let us know what this new rule is and how you can complete this process.
New rule for the income certificate in Delhi
A big change has been made in the process of applying for an income certificate in Delhi, which will directly affect millions of people. Now, the Aadhaar card has been made mandatory for the application.
Aadhaar is now necessary to get an income certificate
Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has approved this proposal of the Delhi government. This means that now it will be necessary to provide an Aadhaar card or its number while applying for an income certificate. Whether you apply online or offline, your application will not be accepted without Aadhaar.
The main reason for making Aadhaar mandatory is that it can properly verify the identity and income-related information of the applicants. This will also prevent fraud. Therefore, if you are thinking of getting an income certificate, keep your Aadhaar card and related information ready before applying.
