PAN Card and Aadhaar Linking is important so link your PAN Card with Aadhar Card Number Before Deadline.
If you hold a PAN and are eligible to get Aadhaar or already have an Aadhaar number, you must inform the income tax department. You can do this by linking your PAN to your Aadhaar. If you fail to do PAN-Aadhaar linking, your PAN will become ‘inoperative’. So let’s know how to link PAN with Aadhaar Card Number.
The last date for linking Aadhaar with PAN was 31st March 2022. PAN will become inoperative from 1st April 2023 if it is not linked with Aadhaar.
*Information: As per CBDT circular F. No. 370142/14/22-TPL dated on 30th March 2022, every person who has been allotted a PAN as on 1st July 2017 and is eligible to obtain Aadhaar number is required to link PAN with AADHAAR on or before 31st March 2022. Taxpayers who failed to do so are liable to pay a non-refundable fee of Rs. 500 till 30th June 2022 and thereafter a fee of Rs. 1000 will be applicable before submission of PAN-AADHAAR linkage request.
Please pay the applicable non-refundable fee of Rs. 1000 through e-Pay Tax service to proceed with submission of Aadhaar-PAN linking request. Click here for payment related information. Click here for payment related information.
