Relief For Taxpayers: CBDT Extends PAN, Aadhaar linking by 3 Months to 31 December'19

In a relief to taxpayers, the Central Board of Indirect Taxes has extended the deadline to link PAN with Aadhaar to December 31, 2019. Earlier, the last date was September 30, 2019. This notification is issued for the taxpayers who have not linked their PAN with their Aadhaar. As per the Tax Administration, the PAN which will not be linked with the Aadhaar by 31.12.019 shall become inoperative and therefore, it cannot be used for any financial transaction. However, the government is yet to notify the implications of inoperative in case PAN is not linked with Aadhaar. 

"The CBDT granted another 3 months extension to link the Aadhaar with PAN. As per the recent amendment by the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019, if a taxpayer does not link his PAN with Aadhaar number by the due date then the PAN of the taxpayer shall be deemed to be inoperative. A taxpayer will not be able to quote his PAN if it becomes inoperative. The dept. has not yet prescribed how an inoperative PAN shall be made operative again. Thus, to avoid any inconvenience which may cause to the taxpayer, the board has extended the cut-off date, says CA Naveen Wadwa. 

If the individual's PAN becomes 'inoperative' it will be treated as if the person is not holding the PAN and he would be not entitled to conduct and financial transactions where it is mandatory to enter the PAN details. 

How to link PAN with Aadhaar?

In the last Union Budget in July 2019, the government has proposed a law making necessary for every individual to link PAN with Aadhaar while filing income tax return online. Here are three ways to link your PAN with Aadhaar- 

As per the income tax department, you can link PAN with Aadhaar by using either online mode or through SMS service- 

Link Aadhaar with PAN through income tax e-filing website 

To link a PAN with Aadhaar online, the assessee is required to log in to the e-filing portal, according to the Income Tax Department.  

Link Aadhaar with PAN through SMS service

The Income Tax Department also provides an SMS-based facility to enable the linking of Aadhaar with PAN online. 

Thus, every individual must link the PAN with the Aadhaar. As section 139 AA (2) of the Income Tax Act, every person having PAN as on July 1, 2017, must intimate his or her Aadhaar number to tax authorities. Moreover, Aadhaar linked with PAN enables taxpayers to verify their returns through OTP sent to their phone number at the time of ITR Filing.

Not Got Your Income Tax Refund Yet? Here's What You Should Do

Once your income tax return is processed, it almost takes 30-45 days for you to receive the refund. Taxpayers who have filed their income tax return before July 31 might have received the refund by now. On the other hand, Tax assesses who have filed the ITR around August 31 for the financial year 2018-19 are still waiting for the refunds to credit in their account. Well, this time is an appropriate time for the individuals applied for ITR filing to check if they received the refund by the income tax department or not. Moreover, there could be many reasons for a delay in refund process like mistakes in the income tax return filing, discrepancy in income, incorrect bank account details, wrong address, and others. 

 If you are also among those who still have not received the tax refund, here we've discussed some of the reasons for the delay in getting your refund and what you should do in case of delay-

 Mistakes in the Tax-filing

 If you haven't received the refund, there are possibilities that you made blunders while ITR filing likes misspell critical personal information or put in wrong details.

In addition to this, there could also be mismatches in the figures that you had provided previously and what you did this year. The tax department will check the records thoroughly to confirm if you need to share additional information.

 Discrepancy in income or tax amount

This occurs when your form 16 details do not match with the details mentioned in form 26 AS. If there is any discrepancy in the income from various sources, the refund process may get interrupted. Refund also gets delayed where ITR couldn't be processed due to proposed adjustment under section 143(1)(A). Although, in this case, you will be intimated with the new tax demand due to which the process may take a little longer.

 Incorrect bank account details

Even if you completed all the formalities and do not give accurate bank details, then it will be difficult for the income tax department to process your refund. The wrong details like a wrong bank account number or IFSC Code, bank account mentioned for refund not being linked with PAN or not pre-validated at the e-filing portal could delay the refund process due to which the taxpayers may have to wait till the time they receive the refund in their account. The taxpayer will be asked by the authority to submit updated bank account details through their income tax India e-filing login on the e-filing portal. 

How to check the Income Tax Refund Status?
