The said provisions allowing the quoting of Aadhaar Enrolment ID in application form for allotment of PAN or in the return of income, was introduced in 2017. Since then, as per data available in public domain, coverage of Aadhaar number has been increasing, and has encompassed majority of the population in India. Hence, it is imperative to discontinue the option of quoting of the Enrolment ID of Aadhaar application form, as any allotment of PAN against the Enrolment ID may lead to duplication and misuse of PAN.

Therefore, it is proposed that proviso to sub-section (1) of section 139AA shall not apply from the 1st day of October, 2024. It is further proposed that every person who has been allotted permanent account number on the basis of Enrolment ID of Aadhaar application form, shall intimate his Aadhaar number on or before a notified date.
