The Income-Tax Department has launched an online facility to link Permanent Account Numbers with Aadhaar.
Under the facility, the taxpayer will have to provide the PAN and Aadhaar number, which then will be verified from the Unique Identification Authority of India, and then the two will be linked.
“In case of any minor mismatch in Aadhaar name provided, Aadhaar one time password (OTP) will be required,” said the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on Thursday, adding that taxpayers must ensure that the date of birth and gender in PAN and Aadhaar are exactly same for the facility to work.
In case the Aadhaar name is different from the name in PAN, then the linking will fail. The taxpayer will then be prompted to change the name in either the Aadhaar or in the PAN database.
