New Delhi: The Cabinet on Monday approved amending the Telegraph Act and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) to provide legal backing for seeding of biometric ID Aadhaar with mobile numbers and bank accounts, news agency PTI reported quoting sources.
The move comes after the Supreme Court in September struck down Section 57 of the Aadhaar Act, restricting the use of Aadhaar by private companies, saying it had no legal backing.
