For mobile SIM, voter ID, passport, or license – Aadhaar is no longer needed
This development came after the Supreme Count issuing an interim order on March 14, stating an indefinite extension of the deadline to link Aadhaar with mobile numbers, bank accounts and passports.
Aadhaar is no longer needed to get a mobile connection. Telecom companies will now be accepting other documents also, like driving license, passport and voter ID, since the Centre directed them to implement the new rule immediately.
The previous deadline was of March 31 and Supreme Court issued an interim order on 14th March which indefinitely extends the deadline for linking Aadhaar to mobile phone numbers, bank accounts, passports and other services. Dipak Misra, Chief Justice, headed a five-judge bench and mentioned that till the time no judgment comes on the constitutionality of “unique identification programme”, Aadhaar is no longer needed to be linked to these services.
- Aadhaar is no longer needed: Times of India reported on Wednesday “To buy a mobile SIM, you no longer need an Aadhaar card”. Telecom companies have been directed by the government to accept alternative documents like passport, driving license and voter ID. Quoting Telecom Secretary, Aruna Sundararajan, it also mentioned that telecom operators need to follow the new rule immediately.
- Supreme Court has indefinitely extended the deadline: On March 14, the Supreme Court extended the deadline of March 31 for mandatory linking of Aadhaar Card in order to avail various welfare schemes run by the government and services until the Constitution Bench delivers its verdict on validity of the 12-digit biometric number and the enabling law.
- Extension of deadline applies to Aadhaar-mobile number linking: The deadline extension also applies to the mandatory linking of Aadhaar with mobile phone numbers and bank accounts. The Constitution Bench is hearing petitions that have challenged the constitutional validity of Aadhaar Card and its enabling Act.
Corrupt government
Aadhar is not needed now for Mobile ,Passport,Voter I Card .Than why it is to be linked with the Income Tax Return.
That’s a very good question??
This is an ad ppl even cant recognised.. hahaahahha
Gov’t is not corrupt.we people are corrupt.coz of our own benefits we support all this things .who will give q at telecom and bank to link adhar card.it is waste of time.but people have time to spend time at free wifi 📶 tower for social networking..Gov’t has to strict on some decisions which is good for Nation.
so sad. Supreme court is supporting corruption. it happens only in India.
No
Dear Anil,
I a, not really sure you have an idea what the debate is about. Aadhaar is all abut data that will be collected from your end for every primary purchase you make and sensitive information. This kind of data is not even secured yet and the Govt isnt assuring of any better security or scrutiny. So its more about data protection than corruption.
Even now the mobile agency are asking for Aadhaar Card to issue new sim. It seem the govt. is siting quite on the orders of Apex Court and has not percolated the instructions to the mobile service providing agencies. The quite mod of government speed volume about the intension.
Has any one received a new sim without Aadhaar Card, pl. intimate.
No
No….. yesterday only I were contacted idea n airtel for porting….. both are denied to do without adhar card even after telling it’s SC’s order…. saying they only have now arhar card n dint reached with any of such instructions from company or govt….
Useless…. 😈👿👹
If the supreme court’s judgement is for all those documents like Mobile SIM, Voter ID, Passport or License. Then why is it compulsary for Ration Card to link Aadhaar till now. afterall all these documents are more important than Ration card.. i suggest and request Supreme court to give same judgement for Ration card also. thanks
Good news, people views .
For KYC that to be given to bank need not to submit aadhar card, if the bank insist for aadhar card, kindly let me know what shoud i have to do
It’s not good judgement as it will helps to increase corruption & crime rate in the country. so please change the decision immediately. it is doesn’t like better for such a good governance. Thanks & regards.
Aadhar is the only one to stop the corruption same as I D of UAE,Saudi Arabia etc. Robber and criminal can’t escape from the country. I think Indian Law makers should take action to protect our country financial.
yes like dogs and buffaloes will fly out of country by doing some robbery..right because they possess aadhar card as well. this govt just want to piss off middle and working class, nothing is happening to top knots, SC should imply some penalty in case companies are refusing to submit anyother kyc apart from adhaar
I support you….In India people think it is been targeted to some religion…
Please honor the Supreme Court Decision and do not oppose to it. It is a Good Decision, and corruption is an attitude and nothing to do with escaping through Unique ID linking.
Very much good decision indeed by our respected Supreme Court. If our administration is run by most of the highly corrupted politicians and criminals then how could we expect for corruption less country.
good decision bcz adhar data is not safe and it can put a person in big trble i agree with SC order
What about credit card ? , is it applicable for credit card or not .
No
These private companies are selling your data for marketing purposes that is why they are insisting for ADhar Number and hard copies of ADhar even after getting your finger print on the said device I opened my three in one account with Kotak Mohindera Bank they took both finger prints and hard copy of my ADhar card and pan card
These companies have no regards for Supreme Court of the country as Government of India does not take any action against these companies
Smart
Government of India should issue instructions to Paytm also as they’re still asking to link Aadhaar Card with Paytm account.
PAYTM is not a government organisation…its a private enterprise…dont pull all your guns towards govt….it is you people who cry lot about corruption.
Now, when govt. trying to stop or slow corruption u want to revolt…buillshit…whats the issue in getting a aadhar and linking it to various services..
only the corrupt and the thief has issue with this…
its because the corrupt rule this country, if i give them my sensitive information I’m bound to be harassed by the authorities.the cops are puppets in the hands of the powerfull.if i question the govt they will pick me up from my house and frame cases against me using my aadhar information.do not think this is hyperbolic.rti activists who are successful are dead.unfortunately my country is not ready for aadhar.
Government of India should instruct Paytm also not to insist for linking Aadhaar Card with the Paytm account.
u call them and tell if u want adhar data then ill quit they will lisson
There was a E-Mail I received about misuse of Aadhar Cards for LPG Subsidy received by its beneficiaries by some strangers. Then the Central Government stopped the Subsidy to its beneficiaries. So also in other Sectors it will happen in due course of time. I think the Central Government should go through thoroughly on legality aspects of implementing IDs and the Government Schemes to help the mass of the country.
Some of the mobile network companies already forced people to link their Aadhar with their mobile number. What will be the solution for that? Irresponsible government.
i got a sim card yesterday on 09 may 18.i had to give my aadhar.the govt blatantly discredits supreme court orders.when we have to sing national anthem then the govt enforces it,very convenient.
when 100% cards are made,then only the govt should insist for Aadhar. bye
it is to be seen that every citizen should apply for the Aadhar card, then think of implementing.Bye
Results is 30 – 70 %.
30% – Good
70% – Bad
It must be mandatory….
Good people use genuinely
Bad people use for illegal work….
Pls…link my mobile number with my Aadharcard
But 14th March is not here yet… If not then which year are you talking about?
How use phone number to aadhar card
Pretty unfortunate judgement…
When the Govt. Is out to harness corruption in the system, the corrupt Babu’s, throw a crowbar in, and when the judiciary reverses the Govt. ruling, then the equally corrupt Janata ignites fireworks like this.
May God rescue this corrupt country !!
Why are we so serious about linking adhar.
World is moving towards automated technology. After few years biggest challenges would be jobs.
And we are not even able to link driving license voter id with the adhaar. Just make them mandate to link with adhar and loose free to use which ever document could be use.
Why Aadhar is unnecessary such a big issue.
Its foolish.
Babu Rajiv, all story is good for only suggestions. Look aadhar card clearly back side. It says through out country it is valid of identity, where if you go to other state SBI example, they won’t believe you as your are authorized person to open account. Then why this stuppid card for whole india needed. ? LOL, think bigger. Where is Online ? in india only states wont believe then what is suck with AAdhar to link. If you link then still why they ask your local address proof in many governament sectors. One address is not enough ?
Latest news Mar 28th The Supreme Court (SC) on Tuesday refused to further extend the March 31 deadline for linking of Aadhaar with government schemes and benefits.
I would say NO to this judgement of the government, meanwhile is there any harm in having an ID that is supreme and fool proof. Yes there are some there are some loop holes/ lacunae, where are we succeeded in implementing fool proof ideas in our administration?, currency, EPIC, even Adhara card itself. Try and make something that is not imitated next day by some smart generous.
… the data already collected by these guys ?
need link aadhar with election card
to reduce bogus voting
They focus about unnecessary stuff all kind of AADHAR CARD etc. We know how we are travelling in worst roads of india on every day. Why these lazy governament does not know about this things. 10 times we have to make them run on the same road, then atleast they realize what is the hell of roads. I want to talk to Modi, if they give opportunity and prime minister of India ready to walk with me, i will take him on my bike to educate.
It can happen only in India. The availability of a foolproof Id with fingerprints is the need for an uniform Id for all . All countries follow this practice of using a secure Id including countries like China.
Only those who
Involve in money laundering
Corruption
Hoarding and other actions undermining the country , are opposing this tooth and nail for obvious reasons .
It is an unfortunate and Ill thought out judgement , but you cannot blame them as they bend to Politicians .
exactly whay should we be forced to link aadhar with SIM card and BAnk accounts and credit cards ,,,on existing accounts ,
they have our address, our , pic, our PAN no. , our ,,,,, why do we eant to aadd a new card ????
if we dont believe that the earlier cards and proof is adequate ,, then we should corrcet it ….
clearly it an attempt to harrass the public on some issue or the other …
the data in the hands of a single authority can be used for surveillance puposes ,, enough evidence that big data is misused everywhere ..
i hope and pray supreme court does not fall prey to this kind of forceful methids to obtain data and control private lives of citizens .
India Government take decision to merge all the document like PAN, driving licences, voter ID,aadhar card ,ration card ,ID prof and etc .Issue one card all in one in aadhar card.
Nice!!
When aadhar is no longer needed for sim why to be necessary to link pan card.
When aadhaar no longer needed to link bank account,passport,mobile phone or voter id.why should it be necessary to link pan card?
Thanks to SUPREME COURT OF INDIA. Very Good ,
As recently as June 1st week, Vodafone is forcing to provide AADHAR for new connections; else their system does not unlock! Would the honourable SC please take it up? The company forced my mother to give it else the connection was not possible since the system would not unlock.
At the Pune passport office managed by TCS, helpdesks instruct you to link it to AADHAR, however if you protest they allow you to go. Many people are thus being conned into linking passport with AADHAR
Not in the larger interest of the nation and common man
In INDIA Thousand & one Acts& Rules are there. Its not applicable to all. But applicable to some or part of the citizen in defferent ways & means.Do you say those Acts are not required, Similarly Aadhaar is reqiired in our corrupt world
The supreme court rule is not applicable to mobile operators like Airtel,Jio,,Vodafone etc.as they are not bothered…they keep insisting Aadhar card for change of SIM,MNP etc…
due to aadhar card various poor become beg. because operator use there finger to withdraw cash without any information…………………………..
Sim card providers are not providing the sim cards without the Adhar Card, none of them, not a single of them. What are we suppose to do?
It was not compulsory since beginning. Hype by the Government of India steal information.
