The National Payments Corporation of India announced their success in linking 15 crore Aadhar cards with various bank accounts, with a target of linking 17 crore DBTL beneficiaries by June 30. The NPCI aims to bring all government subsidies and benefits under this linkage program, which will be one of the largest in the world and prevent leakage of funds. This initiative, started in 2009, also includes other payment system projects like ATM switching, mobile payments, and IMPS, making India a leader in affordable and convenient payment mechanisms for financial inclusion.
