Government extends Aadhaar-PAN linking date to December 31
The deadline to link PAN card to Aadhaar card has been increased once again by the Income Tax Department. Now the new deadline is December 31. Earlier this deadline was ending on 30 September. A notification in this regard has also been issued by the department. This move of the government will provide relief to those who have not yet linked their PAN card to Aadhaar. By December 31, if the PAN card is not linked to Aadhaar, it will become inoperative, that is, you will not be able to do financial transactions with it.
High court also declares it mandatory
According to the notification issued on 31 March, the Finance Ministry had clearly stated that if one has both PAN and Aadhaar card, it is mandatory to link them. Earlier this year, the High Court also upheld Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act, making the PAN-Aadhaar link mandatory.
