I'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.

> 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.

  You need a PAN to file income tax in India. Not AADHAR.
