The Union Finance Ministry launched Aaykar Setu, a new taxpayer service module. The new e-initiative literally means taxpayer's bridge and will be available on Android phones. It aims to provide better taxpayer services and also help in reducing the direct physical interface between assesses and tax assessing authorities. It will allow entities track TDS, pay taxes and apply for Permanent Account Number (PAN). It will also help people link their 12-digit biometric identifier Aadhaar with PAN.
