Aadhaar-enabled bank accounts

LPG dealers are handing customers a handbill which states that LPG subsidy will be directly credited to the bank account of the customer. To receive this credit, the consumers should go to the bank with a copy of the Aadhaar card and get their accounts "Aadhaar-enabled". 

We checked with several banks in the city, SBM, SBI, Vijaya Bank, Corporation Bank and Syndicate Bank, but they all pleaded ignorance in the matter. Only Canara Bank is providing this service.

If banks do not Aadhaar-enable accounts, how will the LPG customers get their subsidy?
