The return can be filed by visiting the income website: http://www.incometax.gov.in. Income Tax India has recently shared a tweet through the official Twitter handle on linking PAN with Aadhaar.
The Income Tax India tweet said, “Dear Taxpayers, Concerns have been raised by certain NRIs/ OCIs regarding their PANs becoming inoperative, although they are exempted from linking their PAN with Aadhaar.”
“Further, PAN holders, whose PANs have been rendered inoperative due to non-linking of PAN with Aadhaar, have expressed concern over certain consequences of PAN becoming inoperative”, the tweet added.
In this context, the following clarifications may be noted:
1. ITD has mapped the residential status of NRIs in case they have filed the ITR in any of the last 3 AYs or they have intimated their residential status to the Jurisdictional Assessing Officer (JAO). The PANs have been rendered inoperative, in case any one of the above-mentioned criteria is not met.
The NRIs whose PANs are inoperative are requested to intimate their residential status to their respective JAO along with supporting documents with a request to update their residential status in the PAN database. Details of JAO can be found here.
