PAN-Aadhaar linking; The central government has extended the deadline for linking a taxpayer’s Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar. The deadline has been extended until June 30, 2023, per a statement from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT). It was stated that a distinct notification is being issued in this regard. Linking PAN and Aadhaar is crucial for preventing tax evasion. If a taxpayer does not link the two documents, his or her PAN card will expire. In such instances, the taxpayer will be unable to provide, communicate, or cite his PAN.
The CBDT also outlined the penalties a taxpayer will face if his or her Aadhaar and PAN are not linked by July 1.
In order to provide some more time to the taxpayers, the date for linking PAN & Aadhaar has been extended to 30th June, 2023, whereby persons can intimate their Aadhaar to the prescribed authority for PAN-Aadhaar linking without facing repercussions.
