Aadhaar linking will help prevent PAN fraud: UIDAI to SC
Aadhaar-issuing authority UIDAI has told the Supreme Court that Aadhaar-linking would help prevent duplication of PAN cards. It said that shell companies were created abroad using fake PAN card, and by making Aadhaar the "sole criterion" for allotment, one PAN per person can be ensured. "11.35 lakh cases of duplicate PAN/fraudulent PAN have been detected," UIDAI added.
