How to link Aadhaar with Income Tax Return (ITR)

Income Tax Department has started linking Permanent Account Number (PAN) with the unique identification Number Aadhaar, a step that will eliminate sending ITR – V to CPC.

However, Aadhaar Number can be lined only if Name, Date of Birth, Gender as per Aadhaar Card matches with the details as per PAN data.

Income Tax Department will validate your name, date of birth, gender as per PAN and Aadhaar Number with UIDAI. Please note that if the details do not match, the Aadhaar number will not be linked to your PAN.
