Aadhaar must for new bank account, tatkal passport: UIDAI

Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has clarified that Aadhaar is still necessary for opening new bank accounts or applying for Tatkal passports. The Supreme Court on Tuesday had shifted the deadline for linking it to existing bank accounts and PAN card, among others. It added that those without Aadhaar could avail the services with an Aadhaar application number.
