NewDelhi: The current deadline to link your PAN Card with Aadhaar Card is June 30, 2023, post which the financial document will become inoperative.
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has been postponing the PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline numerous times since March 31, 2022, however there is no surety whether or not the CBDT will extend it today again. Hence it is important that you link your PAN card with Aadhaar Card today itself if you have not done so.
The point to note however is that even though the deadline is June 30 to link PAN with Aadhaar, there is a Rs 1,000 fine for peopole who have not linked the two important documents. Aadhaar and PAN could no longer be linked after the original deadline of March 31, 2022, without paying a fine of Rs 500 until June 30, 2022. This fine was later was raised to Rs 1,000 from effective from July 1, 2022. The penalty amount is still the same even though the PAN-Aadhaar connecting deadline was once again extended from March 31 to June 30, 2023.
