Link Aadhaar and PAN in just 1 Step!
Link Aadhaar and PAN made mandatory for income tax filing by the income tax department in India.
We have observed that the taxpayers with long names were shortened in a non-standard form during PAN issuance, and is not the case in case of issuing Aadhaar, hence it's very important to link your Aadhaar with your PAN to make sure that the linking is successful before filing your taxes for AY 2017-18 onwards.
