Supreme Court reserves its order on Aadhaar-PAN linkage

The Supreme Court on Thursday reserved its order on whether to make Aadhaar mandatory for getting a Permanent Account Number (PAN) and to file tax returns.

An apex court bench compromising of Justice Arjan Kumar Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan asked all concerned parties to file their respective written submissions by Tuesday.

Attorney General Mukul Rohatgi informed the apex court that Aadhaar is unique and could not be duplicated.
