Why does Quicko asks aadhaar details while filing ITR?

hy split above? Or merge of topic? (I am confused whether to call it split or merger)

I was not going to post below this thread… I gave up on this subject and moved on…
But recently for last few days, because of this split/merge, I am receiving emails for comments on the post, where I didn’t posted anything in the 1st place… That is kind of spam for me…
Here: PAN Aadhaar link is mandatory - #4 by HIREiN
My this thread was kind of hijacked…

Also Moderator or someone changed the title of this thread to PAN-Aadhaar Link, which was not the original title of this post/thread… How can you even do this? Change user’s post…

But it is still confusing… The quoting of Aadhaar Number part… And may be can not do anything about it…

When at one end Supreme Court disallowed it to be collected by Private Entities . On the other, hand IT Dept says, one should quote it in the ITR even when Private entities like ERI are goin to process that information…
