Name Mismatch Problem (Aadhar and PAN Card) for ITR Filing Solved

The name mismatch issue was being persistent after the union minister Arun Jaitley has proposed in the financial bills of GST to mandate the linking of Aadhar card in every filing of tax return.

While some of the common issues regarding the linking of PAN card to the Aadhar card are, special character recognition, in which the Aadhar card is unable to recognize any special while on the same side PAN card is able to recognize the special characters. The second issue in the row comes as the initial recognition in which the Aadhar card is unable to recognize the initials whereas the PAN card takes the initials.

Finally, the point of the middle name is also prevalent in the mismatch issue, as the Indian community changes the surname after the marriage especially females, which in turn give a rise in the name mismatch.

One must remember, that the linking of both Aadhar card and PAN card is only eligible in the case of name mismatch, is when the birth date of the individual is mentioned same on both government IDs.

This has been mandated by the government as it will help in identifying the taxpayer identity on a firm basis.
