We know that the Income Tax Department notified each income tax payee to link Aadhar card with pan card until 31 march 2020 Without linking the tax return cannot be filed.
Initially, the deadline to link pan with Aadhar car was 31st August to 31st December 2017, and now it is further extended to 31st March 2018 to simplify the process of linking. But kindly note that on filing the income tax return, if you have not linked our Aadhar card then tax department will not process the returns until PAN and Aadhar are linked.
That’s why many people visit the official website of the department for e-filing and link the two identities. In both of the case, it is possible when both names are identical or with a minor mismatch.
People can link Aadhar card easily with the pan; the Income Tax Department has made it easy for taxpayers with just a 2 step process that does not require even log-in or any registration process.
TWO STEP PROCESS TO LINK AADHAR WITH PAN
Step 1:
- First, go to the official website of income tax of India form the following link:
www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
- Now click on the link of Link Aadhar situated on the left side.
Step 2:
- Next, give PAN number, Aadhar card number and name correctly as per given on Aadhar card and submit it. Once the UIDAI verified the details, the linking of Aadhar card and pan card is confirmed.
If there is any mismatch in Aadhar card name, then it requires OTP verification. Please make sure that the gender and date of birth in PAN and Aadhar are precisely same.
