Several petitioners challenging the validity of Aadhaar had claimed it violated privacy rights.<\/p>\n<p>The Centre had on October 25 told the top court that the deadline for mandatory linking of Aadhaar to receive benefits of government schemes has been extended till March 31, 2018 for those who do not have the 12-digit unique biometric identification number and were willing to enrol for it.<\/p>\n<p>The Attorney General had told the court that no coercive action would be taken against those who do not have the Aadhaar card but are willing to enrol for. He had said such people would not be denied the benefits of social welfare schemes till March 31.<\/p>\n<p>Some petitioners in the top court have termed the linking of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) number with bank accounts and mobile numbers as &#8220;illegal and unconstitutional&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>They had also objected to the CBSE&#8217;s alleged move to make Aadhaar card mandatory for students appearing for examinations, a contention denied by the Centre.<\/p>\n<p>One of the counsel representing the petitioners had earlier said that final hearing in the main Aadhaar matter, which is pending before the apex court, was necessary as the government &#8220;cannot compel&#8221; citizens to link their Aadhaar with either bank accounts or cell phone numbers.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre today informed the Supreme Court that it was willing to extend till March 31 next year the deadline fixed for mandatory linking of Aadhaar for availing various services and welfare schemes.
