SUPREME COURT UPHOLD AADHAAR’S CONSTITUTIONAL VALIDITY AND SAID AADHAAR NEEDED FOR PAN, NOT FOR BANK ACCOUNT AND SIM CARDS


The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Aadhaar Act terming it a beneficial legislation, but weeded out provisions which had the potential for misuse. The Court said that the Aadhaar card is mandatory for PAN (Permanent Account Number) linking, for filing of IT returns and allotment of PAN, and for receiving any subsidy, benefit or services under welfare schemes. The court also said that Aadhaar will no longer be mandatory for opening bank accounts, buying mobile phone SIM cards, getting school admissions, or for appearing in boards or common entrance examinations.
