PayTM and other wallet applications have been getting a lot of popularity these days. One major reason behind a few people not using these services is the requirement of linking Aadhaar. However, this is not the case now as the Government of India has passed a new law where users no longer need to get through all this trouble.
The Supreme court of India has declared the Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act as unconstitutional. It now means that digital wallets and telecom services can now work without asking users to upload their Aadhaar details. Also, school education and exams can be given by a person even if he or she does not have an Aadhaar card.
So, what if you have already linked your PayTM with your Aadhaar? Well, if you are concerned about your privacy, you can now delink your Aadhaar from PayTM and still continue enjoying the services quite seamlessly.
