Pension: Aadhaar not mandatory for getting pension: Government - Times of India

Important thing to note here is that one of the judges in the Aadhaar CB panel had talked about her mother's struggle to get her pension.
This is a clear case of government changing a policy to appease the judge who actually is involved in the ruling in the Aadhaar case.
Insanity.

In Aadhaar hearing, Justice Chandrachud recalls ailing mother’s trouble to get pension | india news | Hindustan Times

Recalling his experience, Justice Chandrachud said “my mother, who was suffering from Alzheimer’s disease was entitled to family pension being the wife of a former Chief Justice of India (late Justice YV Chandrachud).

“She had to give a thumb impression for authentication. I recall, every month the bank manager or his representative would come home and affix her thumb print on certain documents and only then could she get the pension”, Justice Chandrachud said.

“So it (authentication) is a serious issue. It’s not largesse. It is not charity...we have to find answers for these problems,” he said, adding that there was a class of needy people who may not get the benefits due to authentication failures.
