In Aadhaar based payment the money is transferred to the latest Aadhaar Seeded Bank Account of the Beneficiary.

In these cases, beneficiaries should be asked to update the passbook of bank account which is last seeded with her Aadhaar card.

Q.29. Can we generate our own codes for Villages which are not present in LGD?

Ans. 29. No. The Village code and  name  must  be  taken  from the Government Local Government Directory portal (http://lgdirectory.gov.in/) only. Self-generated IDs are not acceptable, and will lead to system errors. It is advised to kindly highlight the issue with the Ministry of Panchayati Raj at state level, and leave out field functionary data for such villages.

Note – Beneficiaries who have received only the first instalment under the old MBP (IGMSY) scheme can claim only third Instalment under the PMMVY scheme, subject to meeting the criteria of PMMVY.
