can any one clarify whether expats are exempted for Linking of PAN to AADHAR?

Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies that expats and Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) are not exempt from linking their Permanent Account Number (PAN) with their Aadhaar card. While NRIs might not always require an Aadhaar or PAN, it becomes mandatory to link them if both are held, with a deadline to avoid the PAN becoming inoperative. This is particularly important for NRIs with financial dealings or taxable income in India.

But the notification 31/2019 states that this is not applicable to those persons or such class of persons under sub section (3) of section 139aa

Indian expats, take note. Your PAN card will be treated as inoperative if you do not link it with your Aadhaar card by the end of this year.

A public notice has been issued here asking for linking an Indian resident's PAN with his/her Aadhaar card before December 31, Gulf News reported on Friday.

While a non-resident Indian (NRI) is not required to have an Aadhar card or a PAN (Permanent Account Number), it is mandatory to link them by Dec 31 if one has them.

An NRI with financial dealings back home is advised to have both a PAN card and an Aadhaar.

The deadline for the linkage was extended till December 31 from an earlier deadline of September 30.

As per Indian government rules, a PAN card is mandatory for NRIs if they have a taxable income in India or want to make investments in the country.
