The Madras High Court today allowed a woman to file her income tax returns without quoting Aadhaar number or Aadhaar enrolment number. Justice T S Sivagnanam passed the interim order on a plea by Preethi Mohan. She had moved the court relying upon a Supreme Court decision in Binoy Viswam Vs Union of India case, in which it had imposed a partial stay on the operation of Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act, which mandates linkage of Aadhaar with I-T returns.
