Save Share

This query is : Resolved

Quick Summary

An NRE client based in the USA needs to sell Indian property but their PAN is inoperative because it's not linked to Aadhaar. Since NRIs are exempt from Aadhaar, this query explores how to reactivate the PAN without linking it. It also seeks guidance on transferring the client's PAN jurisdiction to the International Taxation Assessing Officer and how to communicate with the relevant NRI jurisdictional AO.

10 April 2025 An NRE client residing in the U.S.A. intends to sell a property located in India. However, his PAN is currently inoperative due to non-linking with Aadhaar. Since NRIs are exempt from the requirement of holding Aadhaar, is there a way to make the PAN operative without linking it to Aadhaar?

Additionally, please explain the procedure to transfer his PAN jurisdiction to the International Taxation Assessing Officer.

10 April 2025 you need to write to the jurisdictional Assessing officer with the request for change of jurisdiction. Once that is done, you need to request NRI jurisdictional AO for activation mostly with the documents like PAN and passport etc to establish NRI status.
