What is the new rule

If Aadhaar number is not available at the time of account opening, proof of enrollment slip for Aadhaar number has to be given. Apart from this, information about Aadhaar number will have to be given within six months from the date of opening the account. Let us tell you that earlier investment could be done even without Aadhaar.
What will happen if not done
You will not be able to invest in the account if you have not provided the Aadhaar number. According to a notification of the Finance Ministry, while opening accounts of post office schemes like Sukanya Samriddhi, PAN or Form 60 will have to be submitted. If PAN is not submitted at the time of account opening, it has to be submitted within two months in certain circumstances.
About the scheme
