26 Jun 2020| 04:58am ISTLetters to the editor (26 Jun e 2020)Implement SC verdict on PAN-Aadhaar linkingThe government is arbitrarily forcing the citizens of India to link the Permanent Account Number (PAN) to the Aadhaar Card. The Supreme Court has clearly passed a verdict that only those who are applying for social welfare schemes should link their Aadhaar. The Supreme Court should rap the government for non-compliance to its verdict. Also it may be stressed that the Supreme Court has clearly stated that for opening and maintaining bank accounts, Aadhaar card linking is not mandatory. Why is it then that the banks are not de-linking the Aadhaar Card of account holders as per the Supreme Court verdict?
