UIDAI, the Unique Identification Authority of India said on Thursday that the deadlines for linking bank accounts, PAN cards and mobile SIM cards with the biometric ID will be the same.
The deadline for verifying bank accounts and income tax Permanent Account Number (PAN) by providing Aadhaar is December 31, for SIM cards it is February 6.
The UIDAI said as on date there is no stay from the Supreme Court on Aadhaar and its linking to various services.
The government has made it mandatory for verifying bank account and PAN to weed out black money and bring unaccounted wealth to book. The same for SIM has been mandated to establish an identity of mobile phone users.
The Apex Court has upheld the linkage of Aadhaar with PAN in the case of Binoy Viswam vs Union of India which mandates Aadhaar for income tax returns and PAN.
