With the passage of Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and Other Subsidies, Benefits and Services) Bill, there is statutory backing for transferring government subsidies and benefits to targeted people. Although the Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) has been implemented in phases, the move is a good news for consumers of financial services as well. Right now Sebi has allowed the use of Aadhaar as a valid KYC to invest in mutual funds. It has done so with a cap—investors can invest up to Rs. 50,000 per financial year per mutual fund using one time password (OTP) through eKYC. However, this is more of a stop-gap arrangement than a solution which will spread financial inclusion, especially when it comes to bringing in more investors into the markets.
