Earlier it was floated that if before July 1, 2017 PAN is not linked with Aadhar, then the PAN will become invalid, but that’s not the case actually. The Government has not declared yet anything in this context. Indeed the linking will become mandatory from July 1, but its not mandatory to link before July 1.
Now the question arise, if income is below the tax limit. No matter, whatever be the income, its mandatory for every individual to quote their PAN with Aadhar.

(3) The provisions of this section shall not apply to such person or class or classes of persons or any State or part of any State, as may be notified by the Central Government in this behalf, in the Official Gazette.

In my opinion, the G. S. T. Is not so easy for everyone particularly who are doing trade in India, State, or in District in respect of code of rates on any items under G. S. T. The Linkage of P
S. N with aadhar is very easy on income tax portal if a person is expert with computer.
Say good enough

What if a person is not registered on income tax site and is not eligible to file return. Is he also required to get registered on the e portal for linking purpose. Means now onwards every single resident holding the two is required to get registered on e portal
My grandmother has a PAN and an Aadhar Card as well. But she has never filed a RoI in her life as she does not have any income.
Consequently, she has not even created an account on the e-filing portal.
Is there a way to link without registering on the e-filing portal?
