Aadhar Property Linking: It is believed that black money is mostly spent in property. This is the reason why there is a demand to link property documents with Aadhaar number.
Aadhaar card has become a very important document in recent times. Whether you want to get a new SIM card, open your bank account, use PAN card or take advantage of any government scheme, Aadhaar is needed. It has made work easier for the people as well as for the government. Recently the deadline to link PAN with Aadhaar has ended. Now there may be a need to link another document with Aadhaar.
Hearing in Delhi High Court
In fact, there is a demand that property documents across the country should be linked to Aadhaar. This will stop corruption, black money and benami property transactions. A petition has been filed in the Delhi High Court in this regard. The High Court, while hearing the petition, has sought an answer from the government in the matter.
The petitioner gave these arguments
Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay has filed this petition in the Delhi High Court. Advocate Ashwini Upadhyay says that strict steps are necessary against corruption, black money and benami property. Some people across the country have created properties illegally. Black money has been stashed on a large scale by buying properties. If the property documents are linked to Aadhaar, then such cases can be easily caught.
Government has 4 weeks
The Delhi High Court asked the government to respond while hearing a petition seeking to link citizens’ property documents with their Aadhaar numbers. The High Court granted 4 weeks time to the Central Government to file its reply on the petition related to curbing corruption, black money and benami transactions.
Answers sought from these ministries
A bench of Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma and Justice Sanjiv Narula gave the ministries of finance, law, housing and urban affairs and rural development four weeks to file their response to the plea.
