PAN-Aadhar linking deadline extended to 30th June

The time required to link the Permanent Account Number (PAN) with the Aadhaar card was extended by the government on Tuesday for three months, to 30 June 2023. Just before the current deadline, which was set to expire on March 31, of this year, was to end, it was decided to give taxpayers more time to connect their PAN with their Aadhaar.

By the end of March 2023, the Income Tax Department had previously made it obligatory to link PAN to Aadhaar cards. For taxpayers to determine whether their PAN is connected to their Aadhaar, the I-T agency has also provided links on its website.

If a taxpayer doesn’t do this by June 30th, their PAN will expire and they won’t be able to submit income tax returns, use several banking services, or trade on the stock market.

Here’s how to check the Aadhar-PAN card link status online.

  1. Visit the Income Tax e-filing Portal at https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal.
  2. Click Quick Links, then Link Aadhaar Status, from the site.

  4. After that, a pop-up notification will appear.
