This is a huge relief to those who had filed their income tax returns (ITR) by the due date of August 5, 2017 but were not able to link their PAN with Aadhaar by August 31, 2017.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) in a press release dated July 31, 2017, had extended the deadline to file ITR by 5 days to August 5. Additionally, taxpayers were allowed to link PAN with Aadhaar any time before August 31, 2017 in order for their ITRs to be taken up for processing by the department.
The deadline for filing ITR was extended because many taxpayers were unable to file their ITRs as they could not link Aadhaar with PAN. The tax department had received several complaints from taxpayers expressing their inability to link the two identification numbers as their names in the Aadhaar and PAN databases were different.
The deadline to link PAN with Aadhaar by August 31, 2017 was meant for those who had filed their ITR by August 5, 2017 but had not linked PAN with Aadhaar
Further, those categorised as non-resident Indians as per income tax laws, people who are not citizens of India, those above 80 years of age, and residents of Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu and Kashmir had been exempt from this requirement if they do not have Aadhaar or an Aadhaar enrolment ID. # casansaar(source-The Economic Times).
