Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Governor Raghuram Rajan on
Friday sought more clarity on the Supreme court ruling on the matter, saying
its usage can help a deserving person get credit, avoid over borrowing by
individuals and plug leakages.
"We need greater clarity on the matter, especially
after the recent Supreme Court ruling which says having Aadhaar card is not
mandatory for availing of benefits," Rajan said, stressing that the apex
court is not intending to stand in the way of voluntary usage of the cards and
further stated that "Given how far Nandan's UIDAI has taken us towards a
universal unique ID for India, it would be sad if its use was restricted,"
The Government of India created the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) which used citizens' data for creating unique Aadhaar numbers. The Aadhaar numbers have now become central to a slew of government initiatives, including direct subsidy transfers and the financial inclusion plan.

Later, The Apex
Court held that Aadhaar card need not be a `MUST` to avail the Government
Benefits and the ruling is being examined for more clarity. The ruling came on a specific subject and
might or can obtain more clarity in this regard from the Court and use the
Asdhaar cards for all other purposes without making it mandatory.
