Here’s Why You Should Link PAN With Aadhaar Before 31st March

Here’s Why You Should Link PAN With Aadhaar Before 31st March

Wondering why you need to link PAN with Aadhar online? Here’s your answer.

In case you haven’t linked your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card to your Aadhaar card, you must do so by March 31, 2022. That’s because neglecting it might attract a penalty of Rs. 1,000. Previously, the deadline to link your Aadhaar card with PAN was December 31, 2021. The deadline, however, is now extended by the central government to March 31, 2022.

Previously, PAN card Aadhar card link rules did not attract a penalty. However, the new regulation states that if you fail to link the two identity documents, your PAN card number will become invalid. This means you won’t be able to perform basic financial transactions that require PAN details.

So, if your PAN card is not connected to your Aadhaar, you won’t be able to open a bank account and file an Income Tax Return (ITR). Or, if you are an investor, you won’t be qualified to invest in mutual funds schemes or park funds in stocks, among other things. Why? That’s because furnishing the PAN card is obligatory in all these cases.

But that’s not it! Failure to perform PAN Aadhar linking may also result in you shelling out a higher TDS amount along with a penalty of Rs. 10,000. This penalty will be imposed on you as per Section 272B of the Income Tax Act if you fail to produce the PAN as and when required.
