The Unique Identification Authority of India issues Aadhaar to the citizens of India. In addition, PAN card is issued by the Income Tax Department to a person, firm or entity. In September last year, the Supreme Court had declared the central government's Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid and said that it could be mandatory for filing income tax returns and allotment of PAN.
