By Finance Act 2017 Central Government has made it mandatory for quoting Adhar Number for filling income tax return w.e.f 01.07.2017
i have read somewhere that in the interim order passed by a Constitution Bench (constituted by supreme court) it has been said that Aadhaar could not be made mandatory and nobody could be denied access to any service for lack of it. The words of verdicts is that Adhaar is purely voluntary and it cannot be made mandatory till the matter is finally decided by this Court one way or the other.
My question is - In the light of above verdict, is the decision of Govt making Adhaar mendatory for filling income tax legally valid ?
Please guide me
