CBDT extends date till 31.3.18 for linking of Aadhaar with PAN
Under the provisions of recently introduced section 139AA of the
Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act), with effect from 01.07.2017, all
taxpayers having Aadhaar Number or Enrolment Number are required to link
the same with Permanent Account Number (PAN). In view of the
difficulties faced by some of the taxpayers in the process, the date for
linking of Aadhaar with PAN was initially extended till 31st August,
2017 which was further extended upto 31st December, 2017.
It has come to notice that some of the taxpayers have not yet completed
the linking of PAN with Aadhaar. Therefore, to facilitate the process
of linking, it has been decided to further extend the time for linking
of Aadhaar with PAN till 31.03.2018.
