Companies insisting on Aadhaar to face Rs 1cr fine

Telecom companies and banks insisting on Aadhaar as the sole identity and address proof, instead of allowing consumers looking to get a mobile connection or open an account to use their passport or ration card, will be liable to a penalty of up to Rs 1 crore and jail for their staffers concerned — ranging from three to 10 years.
