Linking Aadhaar with various services

There have been reports in certain sections of the
media that the Supreme Court has rejected a plea which sought an extension of
the deadline for linking Aadhaar to various services (E.g. Bank accounts, PAN,
telephone etc.). Whatsapp messages have been going viral that this
so-called rejection by the Supreme Court means the linking “needs to be done as
soon as possible”. This is incorrect!


The
fact is the Supreme Court has said that it will not extend the Aadhaar linkage
date beyond 31st March 2018 by delivering a judgement before 31st
March 2018. The Supreme Court has nowhere stated or even hinted that it will be
mandatory now to link Aadhaar to everything.
The
Supreme Court will decide on this contentious issue before 31st March
2018 and it will not extend the date of its judgement and that’s all.
