Linking of Aadhar Card with Job Card is mandatory. This is the news received from PTI sources. The last day for linking is August 31. The central government has taken this decision. This linking has been made mandatory for sanctioning money for 100 days of work. The central government announced this decision in January. Earlier, the deadline was December 30. However, this time instead of December 30, the deadline has been extended, January 31 is the last day to link Aadhar card with job card.

Basically, this information is being asked from users through WhatsApp, SMS or phone. Even messages are coming through email. This is the real trap. Danger if you step in.
