How to Link Aadhaar with PAN for Income Tax E-filing : Being a technocrat, it was not surprising that Rajeev Chandrasekhar, a member of Rajya Sabha, decided to put a series of questions to the government on the ever-expanding use of the 12-digit unique identification number or Aadhaar. One such question, which was answered by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology on March 17, queried whether the government acknowledges that the violation of the Supreme Court's orders on Aadhaar by government agencies amounts to an infringement of Fundamental Rights of citizens under Article 21 of the Constitution. What prompted the question was perhaps the string of government notifications that mandated the use of Aadhaar for a wide range of government services-the most recent one being the Cabinet decision to make Aadhaar number mandatory for income tax filing-despite the apex court's interim order that restricts its universal use until a final verdict is given by the court.
