As per government regulations, all PAN card holders must link their PAN with their Aadhaar by 30th June 2023. Failure to do so will result in the PAN card becoming inoperative from 1st July 2023. If the deadline is missed, a late penalty of ₹1,000 must be paid before initiating the linking process.

Why Link PAN with Aadhaar?

• Ensures seamless tax filing and compliance.
• Prevents higher TDS/TCS deductions.
• Helps in faster processing of income tax returns.
• Reduces the risk of PAN misuse.
