Intimation of NRI status to Income Tax Officer for Pan Database.

Intimation of NRI status to Income Tax Officer for Pan Database.

As per G.S.R. 112(E) dated 13th February, 2020 of Government of India it is mandatory for Indian Resident who is having PAN should link their Aadhaar on or before 31st March 2022.

As per Section 139AA (3) of Income Tax Act 1961 Non-Resident Indian (NRI) are exempt from quoting Aadhaar if they do not have Aadhaar Number and their NRI status is captured in Pan database.

If you are Non-Resident Indian (NRI) and do not have Aadhaar Number then kindly go to the Income Tax website and Submit Grievances to update your Resident Status as Non-Resident Indian (NRI) at the earliest.

PAN will become inoperative if a client failed to inform his/her NRI Status to Income Tax Officer.

Only Income Tax Officer has software to do this marking. Please note that PAN Database does not have Residential status as NRI even for those NRI who are filing Return as NRI from many years. PAN Database does not capture status as NRI by merely filing Return of Income as NRI.

Kindly follow below steps to Submit Grievances from Income Tax website (This may or may not work, suggested method is to write to your Assessing Officer (AO) and get changed the status in PAN Database)

Step 1 - Click on the following link and login to the Income Tax portal buy using your Pan Number and Password https://eportal.incometax.gov.in/iec/foservices/#/login

Step 2 - Then go to Grievances option on menu bar and click on Submit Grievances

Step 3 - On Submit Grievances page select Department as AO

NRI_PAN_Linking_with_Aadhaar

Step 4 - On next page select Category as Pan related application and Sub-Category as Change of Citizenship Flag and click on Continue.

Step 5 - In Grievances Description box you need to write following message – “I am Indian Citizen and Non-Resident Indian (NRI). As per Section 139AA (3) of Income Tax Act 1961, NRI are exempt from quoting Aadhaar if they do not have Aadhaar. I do not have Aadhaar. Please mark my residential Status as NRI in Pan Database so my Pan does not become inoperative.”

Thank you for this article. It has been very helpful.I used this to submit my grievance using this article and got following reply :
"We refer to your query regarding PAN Aadhaar linking / Challan Query. As you may be aware, Protean eGov Technologies Limited accepts "
Do not able to understand what they are saying ?
Not sure if there is word count restriction or something but the answer seems truncated.

Dear Sir / Madam,
Kindly note that I am an NRI for past 31.5 years living in Dubai, UAE & donot hold a Aadhar card. Also as per IT rules & regulations NRIs are not required to link Pancard to Aadhar card.
I have updated my status as NRI on the IT portal.
My Pancard no. is AFCPT8749Q.
Kindly update my status as NRI in your records (no Aadhar / pancard linking required) & process the MF transactions.
Should you need any further clarifications, please let me know.
Thanks & Regards,
Milind Sarvottam Torne

THe Article and the title says "change NRI status"

But the screenshots of the IT website shows change citizenship.

Highly misleading and grossly incorrect article

Thank you so much for this post! It was so helpful! I have been looking for this solution for months now and could only come up to the conclusion that I need to post a letter to AO for this. You saved my precious time and effort. I just submitted my request for change of citizenship flag. Will inform here once it is processed.
Thanks again!
