The Income Tax department has launched a new e-facility to link a person’s Aadhaar with the Permanent Account Number (PAN). The department’s e-filing website has created a new link on its homepage making it easy to link the two unique identities of an individual.
An official release said, in case of any minor mismatch in Aadhaar name as compared to the actual data in Aadhaar, a One Time Password will be sent to the mobile registered with Aadhaar. It said, taxpayers should ensure that the date of birth and gender in PAN and Aadhaar are exactly the same.
