This discussion is growing more and more OT, but nothing there says that the SSN is mandatory for any purpose other than Social Security.
How would one get a job without SSN? Without SSN employer would not be able to send income details to IRS.
Anyhow, the news is that a case has been filed in the Bengaluru High Court to have the UIDAI and all its works declared illegal. The case was filed yesterday (November 25). Interesting to see what happens.
That is good, such a system should better be scrutinized as much as possible.
