I logged in to link aadhar with PAN but I see than a wrong Aadhar number is already linked to my PAN. How to correct this
During linking Aadhar and Pan number, there were mismatch in date of birth. I filled correction form at NSDL website to correct date of birth in Pan card and received acknowledgment number. thereafter I clicked KNOW YOUR PAN, entered all birth details, mobile number and got OTP to verify, after this we they gave us new PAN number with same name and birth details. Thinking I have been allotted new PAN number, I linked this with Aadhar. Yesterday I received email with attached pan card with corrected birth details with same PAN number as previous one. I tried to link this with aadhar, but it is showing that this Aadhar number is already linked with another pan card. Kindly advise how to delink my Aadhar card with wrongly linked wrong pan number’; so that I can link my correct PAN with Aadhar.
I tried to link my Pan but on trying to do so, I got the error
“THIS IS AN INVALID AADHAAR NUMBER” , even though
My AADHAR NUMBER IS VALID/VERIFIED.
This issue you have mentioned at Para 3 where in you say
This could be on account of an invalid AADHAAR number.
I contacted UIDAI at 1947 as well as email.
But no use. They don’t even understand this issue.
What can be done now?
Hi,
I have changed name in adhaar recently as same as pan database to link it to pan. Now all the data are same in both. But unable to link it with pan. It seems old adhaar name is referred while linking in IT Website. UIDAI says all data are correct in adhaar database.
Please let me know what to do.
Thanks,
Denny
I invested two lakhs during F.Y 2013-14 for 3yrs in NCDs of Shriram City Finance. Eligible interest used to accrue every year to my credit. I used to obtain a certificate from the company every year regarding interest accruals and paid the Incometax as applicable.In Feb’17 the NCDs are redeemed together with accrued interest and the company deducted 10 % I-Tax on whole amount of interest,about Rs 60,000/-, and the same may appear in my Form 26AS. I file I.T.R 1 on line my self.now the issues before me before me.are :
1.how much of this interest is to be taken into account this F.Y 2017-18 while filing I.T.R ?
2. how to take into account the Income Tax I already paid regularly, in I.T.R 1 ?
Thanking you.

20. How Non-residents filing return in India
should link AADHAR ?
Dear Sir,
There are lot of problems linking Aadhaar with other documents like PAN card, Ration card, etc. In the “name ” section the surname in Aadhaar comes next to our name where as in other date base surname( or initial) comes first.To put an end to this confusion, it is better the data base in all documents are described/arranged as given in pass port( like surname and given name) which is accepted document internationally. Even for non passport holders, the same passport format may be used.
iN my last year 2016-17, e-filling, I had already mentioned my ADHAR No……
My, querry is that Adhar No. will be updated or linked automatically or I had to ” LINK MY ADHAR No. once AGAIN ?
