PUNE: The state transport department has told all the permit holders of autorickshaws to ensure that their Aadhaar is linked to their bank account numbers to get Rs 1,500 per month under a state relief scheme.
The government will disburse Rs 107 crore to nearly 7.15 lakh autorickshaw permit holders.
Autorickshaw drivers
have been waiting for the registration system to be launched online at transport.maharashtra.gov.in.
“There will be a link to the website. All permit holders must ensure that their bank accounts are linked to their Aadhaar cards immediately,” Pune regional transport officer Ajit Shinde said.
“Many autorickshaw drivers are reeling under heavy financial crises. The state government must start giving the money without delay,” Arshad Ansari, vice-president of the Maharashtra Rickshaw Panchayat, told TOI.
