If you are yet to file your <keyword id="19897621" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="itr" source="keywords">ITR</keyword>, you still have some time. But there are certain things that you must remember and double-check before you click on submit ITR-from picking out the right form to ensuring that all the details you’ve furnished are correct. Read on to know the top five things that you must remember before <keyword id="19942833" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ITR-filing" source="keywords">ITR filing</keyword>. <h2>Linking your PAN with Aadhar is mandatory</h2>Before you file your ITR, ensure that your <keyword id="19985317" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pan-card" source="keywords">PAN card</keyword> is linked to your <keyword id="19952125" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aadhar-card" source="keywords">Aadhar card</keyword>. You can’t file your ITR without linking your Pan to Aadhar first. This can be done online. In case you’re wondering whether or not your PAN is linked to your Aadhar card, you can visit <a href="https://eportal.incometax.gov.in/iec/foservices/#/pre-login/verifyYourPAN">this</a> link and verify. However, remember that this process can take up to 6-10 days to complete, so you'll have to jump aboard the belated ITR bandwagon in case you've just initiated the linking process. <h2>Pick the correct form</h2>Choosing the correct form is one of the most important things that you need to keep in mind while filing your ITR. For instance, the ITR-1 form is designed for resident individuals who have income from salary, one house property, and other sources such as interest or dividends, provided their total income does not exceed Rs 50 lakh. On the other hand, ITR-2 is applicable to individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) with income from capital gains or foreign assets.<div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111406215" title="Wondering which ITR form is right for you? Know all about it here" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> ITR-3 is applicable for those who have income from business or professions, or those who are self-employed. ITR-4 is filled by those who opt for presumptive taxation. <h2>Remember to <keyword id="22469557" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="e-verify" source="keywords">E-verify</keyword> your return: </h2>Think you're done with your ITR filing? Think again! You will also need to e-verify your return. If the e-verification is not done within 30 days from filing your ITR, it will be rendered invalid, and will be considered as not filed. You will also not receive any refunds in the absence of e-verification of your ITR. You can easily e-verify your ITR via generating an OTP on your mobile number linked with Aadhar, or by generating an electronic verification code (EVC) through your pre-verified bank account or demat account. <h2>Check your documents and details</h2> When you are trying to get things done quickly, it isn’t uncommon to forget double-checking the details entered. Do remember to double-check all the details that you enter in your ITR. Also, filing an ITR requires certain documents like bank statements, investment proofs, <keyword id="19948097" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="tds" source="keywords">TDS</keyword> certificates, Form 16 etc. Even though you don’t have to attach these documents in the ITR, you must keep them handy. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="111402608" title="ITR filing: Documents you need to file your income tax return" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>Check income and investment details</h2> If you have just one source of income, the process is easy as you just need to mention that in your ITR. However, if you have <keyword id="22106780" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="multiple-sources-of-income" source="keywords">multiple sources of income</keyword>, you need to be careful and mention all of them. Similarly, ensure that you have entered all investment details in the form correctly. Do not forget to mention your interest earned on savings and fixed deposits, dividend income (if any) or income from other sources, since that could lead to hefty penalties.

<ul><li>The deadline for <keyword id="4596360" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="pan-aadhar-linking">PAN-Aadhar linking</keyword> has been extended to 31 March 2019. </li><li>It might have been done because the Supreme Court supported the activists’ argument to push back the deadlines. </li><li>Despite the fact that the deadline has been extended for the fifth time, only about 16.65 crore out of the 33 crore existing PANs have been linked with Aadhaar up till March this year. </li></ul> The <keyword id="121964" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Central-Board-of-Direct-Taxes">Central Board of Direct Taxes</keyword> (CBDT) has issued an order under Section 119 of the Income Tax Act, stating that the deadline for PAN-Aadhar linking has been extended to 31 March 2019. The announcement was made this Saturday night, just a few hours before the end of the previous deadline. Despite the fact that the deadline has been extended for the fifth time, only about 16.65 crore out of the 33 crore existing PANs had been linked with Aadhaar, up till March this year. The earlier deadlines for the PAN-Aadhar linking were 31 July, 31 August and 31 December 2017 followed by 31 March and 30 June of this year. India had launched Aadhaar back in 2009 and it has now become the world's biggest biometric database. Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, which came into effect from 1 July 2017, mandated that all taxpayers having an Aadhaar card must link it with their PAN. The biometric card would also be required to file income tax returns and to get a new <keyword id="74488" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="PAN-card">PAN card</keyword>. The provision was incorporated to check tax evasion through the use of multiple PAN cards. Activists have challenged the validity of the Aadhaar law, claiming that linking their <keyword id="155319" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aadhar">Aadhar</keyword> card for various purposes put their privacy at stake and thereby, violated their fundamental Right to Privacy. They also argue that Aadhar linking leaves room for misuse of their fingerprint and iris scans. The activists had filed petitions and moved court against this law. The five judges hearing the petitions had concluded the case in May but have not yet delivered the ruling regarding whether Aadhaar should be made mandatory for welfare schemes and financial transactions, or not. CBDT said that the announcement for extending the deadline has been made after "consideration of the matter". However, it seems that it was done because the Supreme Court, which has heard several petitions against the Aadhaar law, had supported arguments to push back the deadlines before the court gives a final verdict.

Alongside the facility to link biometric identifier Aadhaar with PAN, the department has also put two separate hyperlinks on its e-filing website -- one to update changes in existing PAN data or for application of new PAN by an Indian or a foreign citizen. The second hyperlink is for individuals who want to update Aadhaar details by logging into 'Aadhaar Self Service Update Portal' using the unique identity number. The individual can then upload scanned documents as proof for data update request. Over 1.22 crore assessees already have Aadhaar-linked PAN but the number is abysmally low as there are over 25 crore PAN card holders in the country, while Aadhaar has been issued to 111 crore people. As per statistics with the tax department, only 6 crore people file income tax returns at present. <keyword id="6355261" type="POSITION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Finance-minister">Finance Minister</keyword> <keyword id="42575" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arun-Jaitley">Arun Jaitley</keyword>, through an amendment to the <keyword id="123776" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Finance-Bill">Finance Bill</keyword> for 2017-18, had made Aadhaar mandatory for filing income tax returns and provided for linking of PAN with Aadhaar to curb tax evasion through use of multiple PAN cards.

The next time you plan on buying <keyword id="18712" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Gold">gold</keyword> or silver jewellery, don’t forget to take your <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=PAN+&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">PAN </a>or <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Aadhaar+card&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Aadhaar card</a> or quote the numbers of the respective cards, if the purchases are above Rs 50,000. 
 According to chartered accountant <keyword id="192203" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bhargav-Vaidya">Bhargav Vaidya</keyword>, who provides consultancy services to the gems and jewellery sector, and the secretary of one of the country's largest bullion association, predicts that the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=KYC+requirements&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">KYC requirements</a> for bullion and jewellery will be revised lower from the present Rs 2 lakh in the upcoming budget. 
 
"I think the KYC (compliance) will be cut to Rs 50,000 from Rs 2 lakh at present in the Budget for <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=FY18&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">FY18</a>," Vaidya, proprietor of BN Vaidya &amp; Associates, told ET. 
 
Currently, only purchases above Rs 2 lakh require know-your-customer-compliance in the gold market. 
 
If the move is implemented, it will be a continuation of the government's crackdown against black money hoarders as post demonetisation, entities holding unaccounted wealth in the form of scrapped Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 notes converted these largely into jewellery, bullion and real estate.

With a voluntary enrolment of 92 crore people, the Aadhaar card is now the most widely held identification document in the country besides perhaps being the sole ID for many of its holders, including many families below the poverty line. 
 In comparison, 5.7 crore people have passports, 17 crore people <keyword id="61610" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="pan">PAN</keyword> cards, 60 crore voter ID cards, 15 crore ration cards and 17.3 crore driving licences. 
 
Aadhaar has helped effect savings of Rs 2,600 crore by eliminating bogus claims in welfare schemes besides engendering greater transparency and consequently reducing corruption, reports from states and Union Territories show. 
 
It is also delivering benefits in progarmmes tailored for the poor like <keyword id="92538" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="80" keywordseo="MNREGA">MNREGA</keyword> where 3 crore of 9 crore active workers have Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. One crore wage transactions have been remitted and the process has become more efficient and transparent with 87,000 banking correspondents providing village and neighbourhood-level micro ATM services. 
 

	Aadhar is particularly crucial for BPL families who are the primary beneficiaries of PMJDY and three pensions schemes run by the Centre — Atal Pension Yojana, PM Suraksha Bima Yojana and PM Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana --are linked to UID. The schemes, according to official sources, are intended to provide a wide coverage by way of insurance with small premiums, flagged by the government as a key policy goal.

All of a sudden, the same party that had opposed the idea of <keyword id="155319" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aadhar">Aadhar</keyword>, calling it a fraud scheme and assured of <keyword id="6354572" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="CBI">CBI</keyword> enquiry if voted to power, has taken a U-turn from its own move only three years after ruling the country. While CBI is being engaged elsewhere, the finance minister <keyword id="42575" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Arun-Jaitley">Arun Jaitley</keyword> has mandated the linking of Aadhar to <keyword id="61610" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="pan">PAN</keyword>, driving licenses and several other documents. 
 
Why do we take U-turn? Before we jump in to analyze Aadhar and its allied insecurity, let’s get straight into philosophy of contradictions. What characterizes a critical thinker? American feminist historian <keyword id="4353413" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="joan-wallach-scott">Joan Wallach Scott</keyword> would say “pointing a finger to contradictions.” French philosopher François Noudelmann in his book <keyword id="310615" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Le">Le</keyword> Génie du Mensonge (The Genius of Lies) portrays <keyword id="352788" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Michel-Foucault">Michel Foucault</keyword> as a man who has the courage of truth. 
 Perhaps U-turns are a necessary ingredient for triggering intellectual blunders. And nobody better than <keyword id="41281" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="NDA">NDA</keyword> government knows that most of us struggle to maintain stability in psychological unity. And at such a juncture, contradictions produce destabilizing breaches in the self. 
 
How the government wants to go with Aadhar? 
The 12-digit number will be required for all citizens of India to file tax returns, driving licenses, filing EPF, getting railway tickets and a variety of other services. 
 
 
 
Why is it alarming? 
Firstly, we need to do understand how Aadhar cards were made. Terming the procedure as causal wouldn’t be an exaggeration. A card that started as a mere identity card was gradually made into a mechanism to gain benefits from the government and now even to get basic things done in life. 
 
The process of registering people on Aadhar was executed through private enterprises known as enrollers who operated freely without any government supervision at the field level. The qualifications needed to become an enrolment agency were quite low and nobody was from a recognized name. 
 Also with the case of whether Aadhar would be mandatory for all these services still pending in the <keyword id="6354977" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Supreme-Court">Supreme Court</keyword>, taking such a move would be no less than violations of <keyword id="42836" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="SC">SC</keyword> guidelines. 
 Besides, there is zero privacy of an individual. Aadhar doesn’t guarantee any privacy and allows for mass surveillance of the countrymen under the vague term of ‘national security’. Only law that is valid in the case is Section 47 that only <keyword id="86474" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Unique-Identification-Authority-of-India">Unique Identification Authority of India</keyword> (UIDAI) can file criminal complaint for theft of data. 
 
Government is the new <keyword id="4646" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Big-Boss">Big Boss</keyword> 
No you aren’t criminal that you would need to hide. But let’s admit it nobody wants to be tracked by a big brother. Imagine the scene when somebody knows how much you earn and spend, where you holiday and which flight did you take on your last office trip, which hotel did you put up and what broadband do you use. And for many people in the country who work on contracts and you will track every penny you earn even if you don’t work throughout the year. 
 And for the people who defend the bill saying you can share your personal data with <keyword id="6355629" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Google">Google</keyword> and <keyword id="6354576" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Facebook">Facebook</keyword>, then why not with government? Tell them, there is a difference between choice and compulsion. And one can just track you and the other one can prevent you.
