The PAN -Aadhaar linking last date
has been extended till March 31, 2021. The previous deadline for linking PAN and Aadhaar
was June 30, 2020.
If you already have the PAN card and are eligible to obtain
Aadhaar number or you have already acquired one, then you are required to link
the Aadhaar number to the PAN. PAN & Aadhaar linking needs to be completed
else the PAN will become ‘inoperative’. Once the PAN becomes
inoperative, one will not be able to undergo several transactions where PAN is
required to be quoted mandatorily. The IT Dept. has specified 18
financial transactions where quoting of PAN is mandatory
by the individual.
Process to link Aadhar with PAN:
To link Aadhaar with PAN card, one may go to the e-filing website
of the income tax department (https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home). One may
use log-in credentials or even without logging, the linking of Aadhaar and PAN
can be done. The income tax department has made it clear that for filing of
ITR, Aadhaar and PAN linkage is mandatory unless specifically exempted.
PAN and Aadhaar can also be linked through SMS to
567678 or 56161 through your registered mobile number. The format of the SMS is:
UIDPAN<SPACE><12 Digit Aadhaar
Number><SPACE><10 Digit PAN> For
Example: UIDPAN 100023456789 XXYZ0123X
