Does NRI Need to Link PAN Card With Aadhaar Card?

06 September, 2025 at 8:20 am

<p>No, an NRI is not eligible to obtain an Aadhaar card in India, as per Section 139AA(2). However, the Income Tax Department has mandated that NRIs update their residential status to &#39;Non-Indian&#39;. This step by the Income Tax Department applies to the NRI if they are filing Income Tax returns for the last few years.</p>

    <p>As an NRI, you cannot link your PAN card with an Aadhaar card due to section 139AA (2) by the Indian government, which does not allow you to obtain an Aadhaar card&nbsp;for NRIs.&nbsp;</p>
