ITR Filing 2025: Income Tax Return Filing 2025: If you want to update your mobile number or email ID on the income tax e-filing portal, now just a click will not work. First of all you will have to do OTP verification from Aadhaar.
ITR Filing 2025: Now the Income Tax Department’s eye is not just limited to your tax returns, but also on every small or big change in your profile. If you want to update your mobile number or email ID on the Income Tax e-filing portal, now just a click will not do the job. You will first have to get OTP verification done from Aadhaar.
Why is Aadhaar verification necessary?
The purpose of this new rule is clear, to prevent any unauthorized changes. In the past, many such cases have come to light where wrong people used to change the details of someone else’s profile by tampering with it, due to which both the control and communication of the account came into their hands. But now it will not be so easy to do this.
The requirement of Aadhaar OTP will ensure that only the person who is the true owner of the profile can change his/her contact details. This means that now even for updating your mobile number or email ID, your identity will be thoroughly verified.
This will be a big change
Not only this, another big change has come into effect from July 1. Now it has been made mandatory for those who want to get a new PAN to provide Aadhaar. Not only providing Aadhaar number, it will also be mandatory to verify it online.
According to the new rule of CBDT, PAN application will be considered valid only when the applicant’s Aadhaar number is registered and its verification is complete. This means that now the process of getting PAN has become more strict.
The government says that these changes will make the tax system more transparent. Along with this, problems like duplicate PAN will also be curbed. Aadhar linking will strengthen the digital system and cases of fraud will be reduced. Overall, now it is necessary to have Aadhar before making any changes in the profile or getting a new PAN, otherwise the matter will not proceed further.
