Linking of PAN and Aadhar in HUF accounts

No.

1. Just link Aadhar and individual PAN of KARTA,

2. File Karta's detail under tab 'Signing Authority" after login to HUF e-filing account.

Income tax portal allows linking of PAN NUMBERS OF INDIVIDUAL ASSESSEES with Aadhar numbers.

 For HUF there is no facility to link Aadhar number of Karta

Although you can add Kartas details as key persons who are authorised to everify the return

Aadhar cards are issued to individual persons, so entities like HUFs (Hindu Undivided Families) do not require a separate Aadhar card. However, if necessary, the Karta's (head of the family) Aadhar number can be attached to the HUF account as part of the KYC (Know Your Customer) process.

Hello,

We receive following error when trying to link HUF PAN & individual adhaar no., which means it is cannot be linked.

"Please enter valid PAN. Aadhaar-PAN linking can be done only for Individual taxpayers."

Regards,

Not required for the HUF:

• Sec 139AA (Aadhaar–PAN linking) applies to individuals eligible to obtain Aadhaar. An HUF has no Aadhaar, so its PAN is never "inoperative" for want of linking.

• The karta's own PAN must be linked to their Aadhaar. Many processes (e-verification, bank KYC for the HUF) use the karta's Aadhaar/PAN.

• For HUF bank KYC, banks ask for the HUF PAN, a declaration of members, and the karta's KYC (PAN, Aadhaar). That's a KYC requirement, not 139AA.

• E-verify the HUF ITR through the karta's Aadhaar OTP, or EVC through the HUF's pre-validated bank account.
