Income Tax (IT) Department simplifies linking PAN with Aadhar for taxpayers using Income Tax India website- (Press Information Bureau) (11 May 2017)

MANU/PIBU/0517/2017

Direct Taxation

The Income Tax (IT) Department has made it easy for taxpayers to link their PAN with Aadhar. Responding to grievances of taxpayers regarding difficulties in linking PAN with Aadhar as their names did not match in both systems (e.g., names with initials in one and expanded initials in another), the IT Department has come out with a simple solution now.

Taxpayers can go to http://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and click on the link on the Left Pane (??) Link Aadhar, provide PAN, Aadhar number and ENTER NAME EXACTLY AS GIVEN IN AADHAR CARD (avoid spelling mistakes) and Submit. After verification from UIDAI, the linking will be confirmed.

In case of any minor mismatch in Aadhar name provided by taxpayer when compared to the actual data in Aadhar, a One Time Password (Aadhar OTP) will be sent to the mobile registered with Aadhar. Taxpayers should ensure that the date of birth and gender in PAN and Aadhar are exactly same. In a rare case where Aadhar name is completely different from name in PAN, then the linking will fail and taxpayer will be prompted to change the name in either Aadhar or in PAN database. There is no need to login or be registered on E-filing website. This facility can be used by anyone to link their Aadhar with PAN.

This facility is also available after login on the e-filing website under profile settings and choose Aadhar linking. The details as per PAN will be pre-populated. Enter Aadhar number and ENTER NAME EXACTLY AS GIVEN IN AADHAR CARD (avoid spelling mistakes) and Submit.

Taxpayers are requested to use the simplified process to complete the linking of Aadhar with PAN immediately. This will be useful for E-Verification of Income Tax returns using OTP sent to their mobile registered with Aadhar.
