The Aadhaar card number is a necessary unique identity for all Indians. Government has also made it mandatory for citizens to link their Aadhaar card number with various essential services like bank accounts, financial products, mutual fund schemes, permanent account numbers (PAN), phone numbers etc.
However, various petitions are fighting court battles against the mandatory linking of Aadhaar card number with various utilities. Because of this, Aadhaar linking deadlines with several schemes have been extended several times. The Supreme Court this month extended the deadline of March 31 for linking of various services with Aadhaar till it delivers its judgment on the constitutional validity of the biometrical identification scheme. Most recently, the government extended the deadline to link Aadhaar card number with PAN card to June 30.Essential Business Intelligence, Continuous LIVE TV, Sharp Market Insights, Practical Personal Finance Advice and Latest Stories — On NDTV Profit.
