Notification

Explanation:

This notification, S.O. 1605(E), is issued by the Central Government under the authority of Section 139AA(2A) of the Income-tax Act, 1961. It mandates the linking of Aadhaar with PAN for certain individuals.

1. Who is Affected?
   • Individuals who were allotted a Permanent Account Number (PAN) based on an Aadhaar Enrolment ID, rather than a finalized Aadhaar number.
   • The Aadhaar application must have been filed before October 1, 2024.
2. What is Required?
   • Such individuals must update and intimate their Aadhaar number to the following authorities:
     • Principal Director General of Income-tax (Systems)
     • Director General of Income-tax (Systems)
     • Any authorized person designated by these authorities
3. Deadline for Compliance:
   • The Aadhaar number must be updated on or before December 31, 2025.
   • The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) may extend or modify this deadline if required.

Summary:

• This step ensures that all PANs allotted based on an Aadhaar Enrolment ID are properly linked to a valid Aadhaar number.
• Failure to update the Aadhaar number within the deadline may lead to PAN becoming inoperative, affecting financial transactions, tax filings, and compliance.
