Your PAN card may become invalid without Aadhaar by Dec 31


New Delhi, Mar 24 (Zee News): After making Aadhaar number mandatory for filing of Income Tax returns and compulsory linking it with your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card, there could soon be a deadline.

As per a report in the Hindustan Times, government has “arrived at the tentative cutoff date of December 31”.

“People with existing PAN cards will either have to link them to Aadhaar or show proof of having applied for the 12-digit ID by December 31,” HT quoting a source added.

Aadhaar may become the only card required to identify a person, replacing Voter ID and PAN, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley recently said in the Lok Sabha.

The unique identification number Aadhaar may become the single identify card in future, he added.

    It appears that with each passing day, the government is linking an increasing number of benefits and government services to the 12-digit biometric-based Aadhaar number for Indians, despite growing concerns around its data privacy and security.

    Aadhaar, which collects among other information, citizens' iris scans and fingerprints and stores them into a centralised database for a prolonged time with only loose guidelines and no pre-existing laws to ensure the privacy of that data, is now linked to no less than 38 government schemes, including the government's latest directive –- that Aadhaar become mandatory for tax filing and securing PAN numbers -- introduced by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley earlier this week.

    There are currently no safeguards to prevent inappropriate profiling, instances of which could increase as more and more private organisations link their data to Aadhaar, and potentially exploit data for commercial purposes without the consent of citizens.

    The US, in comparison, has laws in place that require agencies that collects data to submit an annual report to US Congress on all such data mining activities.

    There's also the worrying prospect of Aadhaar being used as a surveillance tool by the government, instead of an e-governance technology.

    Recently, the chief of IT industry body Nasscom R Chandrashekhar told PTI that personal data of online consumers can never be fully secure, emphasising the need for strict consumer protection laws. "More than 3 million credit card data details were misused recently. Let us face it, these kind of security breaches will take place. There is nothing called fully perfect security in IT," he said.

    Is Finance minister overrule the Supreme court verdict? When end to end encryption data is not secured,who will be responsible for breach?

    There are so many spelling mistakes of names in Adhaar cards, in such case, system rejects when linking with PAN card. Many Adhaar cards do not have mobile no, which was not asked when applying. ITR cannot be verified without mobile no in Adhaar. I heard it is very problematic to make the changes, specially in Mangalore, where there is a big rigmarole.

    BJP had been criticizing UPA's concept of Aadhar for so many years and now suddenly the Finance Minister, Arun Jaitley, intents to replace all other identity cards with Aadhar. If they do not approve the UPA for their motive, then it clearly shows BJP's hypocrisy to polarize votes.
