Aadhaar-PAN card link: There are currently only a few days remaining before the deadline to link Aadhar and PAN cards expires, which is on March 31. Following March 31, 2023, the PAN card of taxpayers who do not provide their Aadhaar as required will no longer be valid, and they will be subject to all of the Act's penalties for failing to provide, notify, or cite their PAN.
Every individual who has been assigned a PAN as of July 1, 2017, and who is qualified to receive an Aadhaar number, is obliged to inform the specified authority of his Aadhaar on or before March 31, 2023, in accordance with the terms of the Income-tax Act, 1961.
