Section 139A of the Income-tax Act, 1961, prescribes various conditions under which an assessee is required to obtain PAN. He needs to mention his PAN in all communications with the Income-tax Dept. and while entering into specified financial transactions.

However, there can be situations where a person entering into high-value transactions, such as purchase of foreign currency or huge withdrawal from the banks, does not possess a PAN. Thus, the Finance (No. 2) Act, 2019, has provide for interchangeability of PAN with Aadhar. It has been provided that every person who is required to furnish or intimate or quote his PAN under the Income-tax Act, and who,-
c) has not been allotted a PAN but possesses the Aadhaar number, may furnish or intimate or quote his Aadhaar in lieu of PAN. Further, Income-tax department shall allot PAN to such person in prescribed manner.
d) has been allotted a PAN, and who has linked his Aadhaar number with PAN as per section 139AA, may furnish his Aadhaar number in lieu of a PAN for all the transactions where quoting of PAN is mandatory as per Income-tax Act.
