Aadhaar-PAN link: Every Indian citizen is required to link two of their important documents Permanent Account Number or PAN Card and Aadhaar Card, according to the government mandate.

In a relief to those who had not yet completed the linking of the two databases, the Centre on March 29 extended the deadline to link PAN and Aadhaar by a year to March 31, 2023. However, there’s a catch. The Central Board of Direct Taxed notified that those who link Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Aadhaar after March 31 and by June 30, 2022, will have to pay a penalty fee of Rs 500.

However, if anyone links the documents beyond that date i. e. from July 1, they will have to pay a penalty of Rs 1,000. If someone fails to link the two before the new deadline, a person’s PAN can become inoperative. In such a case, the individual will not be “able to furnish, intimate or quote his PAN and shall be liable to all the consequences under the Act for such failure,” as per CBDT circular dated March 30, 2022.
