Aadhaar and PAN Linking Deadline extended to December 31, 2017

There is good news for taxpayers as the income tax department has extended the deadline to link PAN with Aadhaar by 4 months to December 31. The department had earlier said that tax returns filed without linking of Aadhaar and PAN would not be taken up for processing unless the two were linked by August 31, 2017

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.

Aadhaar - PAN Linking Deadline is extended to 31st August, 2017



We have seen in our earlier post Step by Step Process of Linking Aadhaar Number to PAN that if you have Aadhaar Number, it is mandatory to link it to PAN and mention the same in your tax returns filed on or after 1st July, 2017.

Today, the Income Tax Department relaxed it with a press release today by making the linking your Aadhaar Number with your PAN Process OPTIONAL for the purpose of your IT Return e-filing till 31st August, 2017. However, it is mandatory to quote your Aadhaar Number in your Income Tax Returns and the actual linking process can be done subsequently, but any time before 31st August, 2017. However, the returns will not be processed until the linkage of Aadhaar with PAN is done.

IT Filing deadline extended to August 5, 2017


The last date for filing income-tax returns this year has been extended to August 5. The original deadline for filing income tax returns for FY 2016-17 (AY 2017-18) was July 31, 2017.  

The extension is a welcome relief for a large number of tax payers struggling to meet the deadline in the face of various problems.

Format or Structure of GST Identification Number (GSTIN)

Here’s a complete break-up of the GST Identification Number (GSTIN). Each taxpayer will be allotted a state-wise PAN-based 15-digit Goods and Services Taxpayer Identification Number (GSTIN).
  • The first two digits of this number will represent the state code as per Indian Census 2011
  • The next ten digits will be the PAN number of the taxpayer
  • The thirteenth digit will be assigned based on the number of registration within a state
  • The fourteenth digit will be Z by default (this will be reserved future)
  • The last digit will be for check code. It may be an alphabet or a number.
A format of proposed GSTIN has been shown in the image below.
