Hi To my understanding, Adhar will not be a mandatory document for Banking, mobile etc. However, I suppose, it will be one of the acceptable document for availing these services.
Legal experts pl fill me in how the situation changes now? If in case, I voluntarily want to link my mobile number with Adhar, can I not do so?

The majority judgment read out by Justice Sikri has held that Aadhar is mandatory for availing facilities and entitlements under different government schemes. This would in effect mean that thousands of disabled persons would be continued to be denied pensions and benefits of other social security schemes. Apart from other concerns, for the disabled enrollment itself has been a major problem. Biometrics has been an issue.Even though there are provisions in the Aadhaar framework to use just one biometric for those with disabilities — either the iris or the fingerprints — many centres and operators are either oblivious of this provision or are not adequately trained to handle this. There have been innumerable instances where the applicants get an acknowledgement but the authentication is rejected at the main server level. Unfortunately, the majority judgment of the Supreme Court does not take these concerns into consideration.
