At the same time, the Aadhaar card is used to perform many tasks and to show identity. In such a situation, the Income Tax Department has fixed March 31, 2023, as the deadline for linking PAN with Aadhaar.
According to the advisory issued by the Income Tax Department, “As per the Income Tax Act, 1961, it is mandatory for all PAN holders to link their PAN with Aadhaar before March 31, 2023, except those falling in the exempted category. PAN cards not linked with Aadhaar will become inactive from April 1, 2023.
