The following categories of clients are exempted from Aadhaar PAN linking:
- NRIs
- Not a citizen of India
- Age > 80 years as on date
- State of residence is Assam, Meghalaya or Jammu & Kashmir
If you are an NRI client whose trading account has been suspended for PAN-Aadhaar linking, you need to
update your residential status with the Income Tax Department.
NRI clients whose trading account has been suspended for PAN and Aadhaar linking must update their residential status with the Income Tax Department (ITD). If you belong to other exempted categories and face trading restrictions, update your details on the ITD portal by logging into
