Income Tax has shared a Tweet from the official Twitter handle saying, “Kind Attention PAN holders! Instances have come to notice where PAN holders have faced difficulty in downloading the challan after payment of a fee for Aadhaar-PAN linking.”

“In this regard, it is to be informed that the status of challan payment may be checked in ‘e-pay tax’ tab of the portal after login. If payment is successful, then PAN holder can proceed to link PAN with Aadhaar“, the tweet added.

The tweet added, “There is no need of downloading of the challan receipt for linking PAN with Aadhaar. Further, as soon as the PAN holder completes the payment successfully, an email with an attached copy of the challan is already being sent to the PAN holder.”

“In cases where fee payment & consent for linking have been received, but linking has not been done till 30.06.2023, such cases will be duly considered by the Department”, the tweet further said.
