Guidance for NRIs on PAN-Aadhaar Linking and Inoperative PAN Status
The Income Tax Department exempts non-resident Indians (NRIs) from mandatory Aadhaar-PAN linking under the Income-tax Act, 1961. However, an NRI's PAN may become inoperative if their non-resident status is not correctly updated in tax records. NRIs should verify their PAN status on the Income Tax e-filing portal and, if inoperative, submit supporting documents to their Jurisdictional Assessing Officer to update their status. NRIs are advised not to link Aadhaar automatically if exempt.
