PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline extended to June 30, 2020

By | May 30, 2020

For those who are yet to link their PAN with Aadhaar, this extension will come as a relief as not linking the two will lead to the PAN becoming ‘inoperative’, as per current income tax laws.

However, chartered accountants advise people to link the two as soon as possible. According to income tax laws, an individual having an inoperative PAN would be assumed not to have a PAN. Further, it would be deemed that he/she has not quoted/furnished/intimated the same wherever it is mandatorily required. Such an individual may be liable for penal consequences i.e. penalty of Rs 10,000 under the Income-tax Act, 1961.
