Aadhaar number made compulsory in all government service records The Central Government had issued the following orders from time to time regarding aading the Aadhaar number in Service Reocords of Central Government Employees. The Honourable Supreme Court of India had already clarified that Aadhaar numbers cannot be made compulsory for Indian citizens. But the Centre had argued that Aadhaar numbers are necessary for its welfare schemes. The case is pending in the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, without declaring that Aadhaar numbers are compulsory for all, the central government has made it compulsory for enjoying the various benefit schemes that are being offered.
