A newly qualified Chartered Accountant is experiencing difficulties registering as a CA on the Income Tax e-filing portal. The portal rejects the registration due to a mismatch between the PAN and ICAI membership name, despite the user having updated their Aadhaar, PAN, e-filing profile, and ICAI membership card to match. This issue appears to be affecting new registrations, particularly those with first name discrepancies, and the Income Tax grievance department is aware but has not yet resolved it. It's advised to wait for the portal to become fully functional.

I think some of my friends also facing same type of problem. I also guess that This type of Error was specially for New Registration in the Portal and Unique to person with some First Name Mismatch.

The problem is still not solved. Those already registered are also finding it difficult to amend their registration or register DSC. So, wait till the portal gets fully functional.
