FM Arun Jaitley has stated that implementation of the Aadhar scheme enabled the government to save Rs 90,000 crore until March 2018 due to elimination of several duplicate beneficiaries, non-existent beneficiaries and fake beneficiaries. He said that the amount saved can be used to fund 3 public welfare schemes of the size of Ayushman Bharat, which is the National Democratic Alliance government’s healthcare programme.
