Hurry, link Aadhaar-PAN with this one-page form or you won't be able to file ITR

From today, linking Aadhaar number with permanent account number (PAN) is mandatory

From today, tax payers will not be able to file e-ITR without Aadhaar and linking Aadhaar number with permanent account number (PAN) is mandatory. However, your PAN will continue to be valid.

The Income Tax department on Saturday said it has introduced a one-page form for taxpayers to manually apply for linking their Aadhaar with Permanent Account Number (PAN), apart from the available online and SMS facilities.

An individual will have to mention both PAN and Aadhaar numbers,
