Officials in the Department of Information and Technology (IT) said the plan is to set up biometric reader machines in all villages. The machines are proposed to be in PDS shops, citizen service centres and government offices providing e-services. &quot;The initiative will be useful to state government employees who settle in their native place after retirement. Every year, they have to produce life certificates from tehsildar offices to be submitted to respective banks. &quot;Instead, the pensioners with Aadhar cards can do their finger print authentication, which will be directly matched with the UID card number stored in the data hub in Bangalore and the banks will get direct intimation about it,&quot; the officials said. They said the state government is awaiting clearance of its proposal by the Centre. Aadhar card numbers would be made mandatory for sale and purchase of property so that benami transactions can be curbed, officials said.

In a bid to provide relief to pensioners from submitting yearly life certificates to avail pension, Maharashtra government plans to set up biometric reader machines for online finger print authentication.
