Last month, the Income Tax Department had said that Permanent Account Number (PAN) will become “inoperative” if it is not linked with Aadhaar by deadline i.e March 31, 2020. “Don’t miss the deadline!”
“It is mandatory to link your PAN and Aadhaar before 31st March, 2020. You can do it through Biometric Aadhaar authentication & also by visiting the PAN service centers of NSDL and UTITSL,” the department tweeted.
In a video, attached with the message on its official Twitter handle @IncomeTaxIndia describes two ways to complete this task: 1. Send SMS to 567678 or 56161 in the format: UIDPAN12digit Aadhaar>10digitPAN> 2. Through the e-filing portal of the department: www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.
The deadline to link Aadhaar with PAN has been extended to 31st March 2020 by CBDT for the eighth time on December 30 last year.
According to the I-T department, over 30.75 crore Permanent Account Number (PAN) had been linked to Aadhaar till January 27, 2020.
