Pan-Aadhaar linking: Step-by-step guide to link before March 31 deadline
By Team Newsable | First Published Feb 14, 2023, 10:55 AM ISTIf the two identification cards – Permanent Account Numbers and Aadhaar – are not linked before 31 March, 2023, the PAN card will become inoperative. Here's how you can link both the documents.
If you are yet to link the two identification cards then you need to link your PAN with Aadhaar Card before March 31, 2023. If not, you won't be allowed to use it starting on April 1, 2023. The 10-digit unique alphanumeric number will stop working when the PAN card holders miss this deadline.
"It is necessary. Link it now, don't wait! All PAN holders who do not come under the exempt category must connect their permanent account numbers (PANs) with Aadhaar by March 31, 2023, according the I-T Act. The unlinked PAN will stop functioning as of April 1, 2023," according to the I-T Department's public advice.
