Aadhaar Verdict: Key Points to Know
The Supreme Court delivered the much-awaited ruling on the validity of the Aadhaar card. The following are some of key takeaways for you:

  • Banks and telecom service providers cannot ask your Aadhaar details. You can avail their services with other appropriate KYC documents.
  • However, Aadhaar must be linked with your PAN. You also need to provide Aadhaar when filing your income tax returns.
  • Beneficiaries of social welfare schemes and those who receive government subsidies must also provide their Aadhaar numbers.
  • Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act has been declared “unconstitutional”. As a result, no private company can ask or seek Aadhaar information.
