No, an NRI is not eligible to obtain an Aadhaar card in India, as per Section 139AA(2). However, the Income Tax Department has mandated that NRIs update their residential status to 'Non-Indian'. This step by the Income Tax Department applies to the NRI if they are filing Income Tax returns for the last few years.

    As an NRI, you cannot link your PAN card with an Aadhaar card due to section 139AA (2) by the Indian government, which does not allow you to obtain an Aadhaar card for NRIs.

    No, NRIs cannot link their PAN card with an Aadhaar card because Indian does not allow NRIs to obtain an Aadhaar card. Here are some of the points that you can notify the Income Tax Department for the PAN card NRI status. 

     

    1. You need to notify the Income Tax Department about the difficulty in filing the Income Tax returns due to not linking the PAN and Aadhaar card. With this problem, you are also not able to claim the tax refunds. 
    2. Due to the Aadhaar and PAN not linking, you are not getting the TDS rates in various activities like the sale of a property, rental income, and transactions on the NRO accounts.
