Linking PAN with Aadhar card in case of NRI

946 views 5 replies

One of my clients staying in UK who does not have any place of residence in India, has received a notice from Income Tax department that if her PAN is not linked with her Aadhar card till 31-03-2023, her PAN will become inoperative. Being a permanent UK resident, she does not have Aadhar card. Can someone please suggest what needs to be done to keep her PAN active? Her registration in Income Tax portal has been correctly done as NRI with UK address.

Write an Email/ letter to her Jurisdictional ITO about her Residential status, Citizenship and non-eligibility of linking of Aadhar card with her PAN Card.

Thank you Mr. Rambhia. Despite the notification mentioned by you dated 11-5-2017 above, do I still write to the jurisdictional ITO regarding this matter?

Better to inform ITO by email about her status, otherwise it would be bit difficult to reactivate her PAN.

Though not mandatory but better play safe, as most of things are automated without much human inference.
