How to Link Aadhaar and PAN to LIC Policies – Online and Offline – step by step guide. As per the latest circular from IRDA, it is mandatory to link all the insurance products with the PAN number and Aadhaar. IRDA’s intention behind this notification is to prevent money laundering and abide by the AML guidelines.

IRDA has instructed that all insurance products including Health Insurance and General Insurance have to follow the instructions with immediate effect. Further to add, the instructions clearly state that those who do not have PAN cards should declare that in Form 60. I have discussed Form 60 and its implications later in this post.

Life Insurance Corporation of India has taken steps to implement PAN and Aadhaar linkage process through Online and Offline methods.

Form 60 is a necessarily required document from an individual to carry out financial transactions when the concerned person is not having a PAN Card. Form 60, however, should be supported by a relevant address and identity proof. Click here to download Form 60.

What will happen in the case of a fraudulent submission of form 60?

Any person who provides a false declaration in the statement will be punishable under section 277 of the I-T Act. Imprisonment of not less than three months to a maximum of seven years can be imposed with a fine for getting indulged into the fraudulent activity.

The person accepting the declaration shall not accept the declaration where the amount of income of nature referred to in item 22b exceeds the maximum amount which is not chargeable to tax, unless PAN is applied for and column 21 is duly filled.

So be careful while submitting form 60 declaration.
