Aadhaar Linking With Bank Account and Mobile Number Not Mandatory : Supreme Court
New Delhi, Sep 26: The Supreme Court on Wednesday said bank accounts and mobile numbers don't need to be linked with the 12-digit biometric Aadhaar. The Supreme Court further upheld Section 139AA mandating linkage with PAN which means Aadhaar will remain mandatory for Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Income Tax Returns linking. The Supreme Court further added saying that the government needs to ensure that illegal migrants do not get Aadhaar card.
The Apex Court had earlier made it mandatory to link Aadhaar with mobile numbers, PAN and other welfare schemes. The Apex Court said no mobile company can demand Aadhaar card.
The Income Tax Act was amended in March 2017 to make Aadhaar mandatory for PAN cards. On June 1, 2017, PML Rules have been amended to make Aadhaar mandatory for linking all bank accounts, insurance, pension, mutual funds and DMAT accounts.
The government has made it mandatory for verifying bank account and PAN to weed out black money and bring unaccounted wealth to book. The same for SIM has been mandated to establish the identity of mobile phone users.
