PAN Aadhaar link: In a big announcement today by FM Nirmala Sitharaman, the Central Government has extended the deadline for PAN-Aadhaar linking from 31st March 2020 to 30 June 2020. The Union Minister for Finance Nirmala Sitharaman today made an announcement in this regard in a media briefing in New Delhi. She said that the Central Government has decided to extend the deadline for the Aadhaar-PAN link by next three months as a large number of PAN card holders have still not linked their card to their Aadhaar number.

In case you have failed to do so, the Income Tax Department will have no choice but to make your PAN card inoperative. The Income Tax Department made the announcement on its official Twitter handle and asked Indian citizens to do the PAN Aadhaar link by 31st of March 2020. Last month, the Income Tax Department had reprimanded 17 crore PAN cardholders to do their PAN Aadhaar link as they were not linked.
