New Delhi: The deadline for linking PAN and Aadhar is only four days away i.e. June 30 but several users have been complaining of ‘demographic mismatches’ in the two documents, because of which they are not being able to complete the linking. The Income Tax department has shared ways to resolve this issue.
According to the IT department, demographic mismatches may occur due to mismatches in name, date of birth, and gender.
For this, one can use the online services of Protean and UTIITSL for PAN-related services.
For Aadhaar-related services, on the other hand, one must visit the UIDAI portal.
Once the mismatch is resolved, you can link the two documents at the e-filing portal. If not done, then, starting July 1, the PAN card will become inoperative.
If the linking still fails, people can avail the option of biometric-based authentication at Protean and UTIITSL. These are dedicated centres for PAN-related services. Pay a nominal fee of Rs 50 to get your work done and carry your PAN and Aadhaar cards.
Kind Attention PAN holders!
