Link Aadhaar With PAN, Says Tax Department. What To Do
The Income Tax Department has sent emails to assessees asking them to link their PAN or Permanent Account Numbers with Aadhaar numbers. The tax department said that the process of linking PAN with Aadhaar has been made easy for taxpayers, citing reports "that taxpayers were finding it difficult as their names did not match in both systems (E.g. Names with initials in one and expanded initials in another)". From July 1, quoting of Aadhaar will be mandatory for filing income tax returns or ITRs. "Responding to such grievances, the Dept (Income Tax Department) has come out with a simple solution now," read the communications from the e-filing team of the Income Tax Department.

The Income Tax Department urged taxpayers to link the two numbers - PAN and Aadhaar - as soon as possible saying it will be useful for E-Verification of Income Tax returns using Aadhaar OTP (One-Time Password). The new feature now available on the e-filing website - incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in - does not require a user to register or login and can be used by anyone to link their Aadhaar with PAN, it said.
The taxman's email also gave details about the latest facility provided by it to link Aadhaar with PAN.
