On 26th of September 2018, The Supreme Court of India passed a historic verdict which stated Aadhaar would not require for the opening of new bank accounts or for linking of existing Paytm bank account.
But due to earlier judgments most of the Paytm bank account holders have already linked their Aadhaar with their Bank Account or those who opened the Paytm bank account have opened it by providing Aadhaar Card, as a bank at that time were saying Aadhaar is mandatory. So with the September 26th Judgment, those who have already linked Aadhaar might not be happy as they would need to go through again delinking Aadhaar from the bank process.
It is not mandatory to delink Aadhaar from Paytm Bank if the bank holder wishes then he can keep it linked with a bank account, but one doesn’t want to keep it linked with a bank account then he or she has a right to delink it from their bank account.
The Supreme Court of India, verdict states “The Aadhaar number holder may, at any time, revoke consent given to a KUA ((KYC user agency) for storing his e-KYC data or for sharing it with third parties, and upon such revocation, the KUA shall delete the e-KYC data and cease any further sharing.”
