It is practically impossible to live in India without aadhar.
- RansomStark 5y agoI've never had the pleasure of visiting India, so have no first hand experience. Could you expand on your point. If the government can't refuse service and third parties cannot ask for the number, how does the lack of an Aadhaar impact everyday life? Just as an aside, I don't doubt what you're saying, I'm just genuinely interested in the mechanics.
- tachyons 5y ago> If the government can't refuse service and third parties cannot ask for the number That is just in theory, you need to have aadhar to pay income tax(not paying tax is a criminal offense), almost all benefits are now getting linked to aadhar. Almost all employers now ask for aadhar details for job.
- mohanmcgeek 5y agoYou need a PAN to file income tax in India. Not AADHAR.

- mohanmcgeek 5y agoHyperbole. I can't think of a single place where Aadhar was the only source of identity that can be used
- tachyons 5y agoJust curious, have you managed to submit IT return without aadhar ?
