Link Aadhaar with PAN using SMS: I-T department—सविस्तर माहितीसाठी इकॉनॉमिक टाइम्स मधील बातमी वाचावी.

The Income Tax Department today urged taxpayers to link their Aadhaar with their PAN, using an SMS-based facility.

The department issued advertisements in leading national dailies and described how both the unique identity numbers of an individual can be linked by sending an SMS to either 567678 or 56161.

It said people can also visit the official efiling website of the department to link the two identities, in both the cases– identical names in the two databases or in case where there is a minor mismatch.

It said linking the two numbers is the key to “seamlessly avail online, a world of income tax facilities.”

“Aadhaar can also be seeded into PAN database by quoting Aadhaar in PAN application form for new PAN allotment or by quoting Aadhaar in change request form used for reprint of PAN card,” it said in the advertisement.
