The Aadhaar Act serves legitimate State interest and good governance to ensure fruits of welfare schemes (that involve 3% of GDP and, thus, huge of public money) reach to unprivileged and marginalized section of the society by preventing leakages, pilferages and corruption in the implementation of welfare schemes; it does not violate right to privacy, nor is it unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Aadhaar Act meets the concept of Limited Government, Good Governance and Constitutional Trust.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The Aadhaar Act is validly passed as a ‘Money Bill’ (within the meaning of Article 110 of the Constitution).<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0For admission of children in schools, requirement of Aadhaar would not be compulsory. Benefits to children under different student welfare schemes shall not require Aadhaar; identity may be proved on the basis of any other documents.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Rule 9 of the Prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Rules, 2005 and the notifications issued thereunder which mandates linking of Aadhaar with bank accounts is fail test of proportionality; hence, unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
Circular dated March 23, 2017 mandating linking of mobile number with Aadhaar is not backed by any law, hence, unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Certain provisions of the Aadhaar Act and Regulations suffer from the vice of unconstitutionality and, hence, amendments were suggested.<\/p>\n
