Aadhaar Number is basically being pushed as a replacement for Pan Card

How to check whether your PAN has been misused?
For this, you will have to generate your credit score using any service provider. While CIBIL charges a fee for generating your credit score, there are several other platforms which help you get your credit details for free. Once you have your credit history, you can check all the details of financial transactions linked to your PAN.
Is CIBIL a better competitor of UIDAI?
User finds Aadhaar linked to 9 unknown numbers, UIDAI gives a flippant reply
In one such instance, Twitter user @PRIYARD went to an Airtel store in order to link her number, the only one she has had since 2000, to her Aadhaar card. However, she got the shock of her life when the mobile network operator informed her that there were already nine other connections linked to her Aadhaar card.
Responding to the user, UIDAI tweeted: “At least the Aadhaar holder knows how many mobiles are linked to his/her Aadhaar number. In such cases one can complain against the mobile company to TRAI or TERM cell of DOT for fraudulently issuing SIM against their Aadhaar Number.”
 
"help! my privacy is violated 9 times!"
"UIDAI: atleast you know how many people violated your privacy"

139AA. Quoting of Aadhaar number.—(1) Every person who is eligible to obtain Aadhaar number shall, on or after the 1st day of July, 2017, quote Aadhaar number—

(i)​
in the application form for allotment of permanent account number;
(ii)​
in the return of income:
So Aadhaar enrollment is mandatory??
Supreme Court and Aadhaar Act says it is voluntary. Whom to believe?
Adv. Shyam Diwan had asked the "Aadhaar Judges" : Can a identity used to identify onself to enroll into Aadhaar be made invalid if not connected to Aadhaar and the judges had responded in negative.
The court agreed that invalidating the PAN card could potentially be violative of Article 19(1)(g) of the Constitution, which protects the right to any occupation or trade.
 
The transparency gap between citizens (who build and maintain the democracy) and politicians(who claim credit and enjoy fruits of citizens hard work) is ever widening. .
There are approximately three crore taxpayers in this group, who will now have to select from a drop down in the form and write the exact income against each one of the ‘other sources’.

Other sources of income include income from lotteries, prize money, interest incomes from savings and fixed deposits, family pension and gambling.

Officials said the government seeks to get a handle on almost all sources of a tax payer’s income essentially to weed out the well-off from paying minimum tax and ensure better compliance.
While kickbacks/bribes donations to political parties are made anonymous, so that citizens cannot know who owns sponsors the .current govt or change of govt.
 


Better sense prevails....

It is likely that if a person's PAN becomes inoperative it will be treated as if the individual is not holding the PAN and he/she would be unable to conduct financial transactions where quoting of PAN is mandatory.

The rule regarding the consequences of not linking PAN with Aadhaar was revised in the Budget of July 2019. Prior to this amendment, if PAN was not linked with Aadhaar, then PAN would have become invalid. It would be treated as if you never had a PAN. The rule was revised and the word 'invalid' was substituted with 'inoperative' to protect past transactions using PAN done by the PAN card holders.
