The Supreme Court on Friday asked banks and mobile phone service providers to tell their customers the last date for the linking of accounts and mobile numbers with Aadhaar.

A bench of Justice A.K. Sikri and Justice Ashok Bhushan said the court had been told that banks and service providers were bombarding the mobile users and account holders with messages without mentioning the deadline for the linkage.

The court was told that the deadline for linking of Aadhaar with bank accounts was December 31 and for mobile phones was February 6.
