Consequence of not linking PAN with Aadhaar

The existing proviso to the sub-section (2) of section 139AA, provides that the PAN allotted to a person shall be deemed to be invalid, in case the person fails to intimate the Aadhaar number, on or before the notified date.

In order to protect validity of transactions previously carried out through such PAN, it is proposed to amend the said proviso so as to provide that if a person fails to intimate the Aadhaar number, the PAN allotted to such person shall be made inoperative in the prescribed manner.

This amendment will take effect from 1st September, 2019.

    As independently noted and understood, the new budget proposal is , contrary to the impression given, aimed at use of the two IDs, , interchangeably – is there any scope for confusion?!

    Aadhar is not valid for NRIs, and OCIs with non-Indian passport. But PAN has been issued to them and they file their Income Tax returns for income arising in India. It seems now Aadhar will become valid for NRIs with Indian passports. But what happens to OCIs?
