Aadhaar for savings account: 
By the end of this month, investors in small savings programs such as the Public Provident Fund (PPF), Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), Post Office Deposits, and others must provide their Aadhaar numbers to the post office or bank branch. Their little savings assets will be frozen if they miss this crucial date.
