New Delhi, Oct 15 (IBNS): Agreeing to the Centre's plea, the Supreme Court on Thursday increased the ambit of Aadhaar Card.

The Aadhaar Card can now be used to avail government schemes including employment guarantee, pension and bank accounts, the apex court said.

 
Earlier,  the court had ordered that the card could be voluntarily  used for availing subsidies under the public distribution system and purchasing kerosene as well as cooking gas.
 

After the apex court's order on Thursday, the Aadhaar card can be used for availing the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Gurantee Act, Jan-Dhan Yojana, provident funds and pension schemes.
