Government officials have claimed that Aadhaar has helped save over Rs 90,000 crore by weeding out fake beneficiaries

New Delhi: The Finance Ministry and other government departments have told a Right to Information applicant they do not have information on rules or procedures to identify beneficiaries of state-sponsored subsidies under the Aadhaar Act.

Business Standard assessed the government's responses to the RTI application filed by Dr Anupam Saraph, who is based in Pune.
