New Delhi : Under the provisions of recently introduced section 139AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961, with effect from July 1, 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 August 31, 2017, which was further extended up to December 31, 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, the CBDT has decided to further extend the time for linking of Aadhaar with PAN till March 31, 2018, according to a PIB release.
