NEWS : The Supreme Court on
Friday refused to place an interim stay on mandatory linking of Aadhaar numbers
with bank accounts and mobile telecom services, saying all Aadhaar-related
pleas will be taken up for final hearing by the court’s constitution Bench in
the last week of November.
The apex court issued a notice to
the Centre on pleas challenging the government’s bid to get bank accounts and
mobile numbers linked with Aadhaar.
The Supreme Court also clarified
that banks would have to indicate in their messages to customers that December
31 is the last date for linking of Aadhaar with accounts.
The final date for linking of
Aadhaar and mobile phones is February 6, 2018, and telecom service providers
would have to inform their customers about this.
