Anyone who recently filed belated ITR in portal / offline can tell me if ITR is being processed without an Aadhaar number?
Supreme Court in its order [ BINOY VISWAM vs. UNION OF INDIA & ORS., W.P (CIVIL) NO. 277 OF 2017 & NO. 304 OF 2017, https://www.sci.gov.in/pdf/jud/wc24717_Sign.pdf ] has allowed those with without Aadhaar no. and who do not want to enroll for Aadhaar untill it's finally decided by the constitution bench to file ITR.
“Those who have already enrolled themselves under Aadhaar scheme would comply with the requirement of sub-section (2) of Section 139AA of the Act... Those assessees who are not Aadhaar card holders and do not comply with the provision of Section 139(2), their PAN cards be not treated as invalid for the time being,” the court said.
"A Bench of Justices A.K. Sikri and Ashok Bhushan exempted citizens without Aadhaar card from the ambit of Section 139AA."
