The central government has made it mandatory to link PAN card with Aadhaar. For which the time till 31 March 2023 has been fixed. Out of a total of 61 crore PAN cards, 48 crore have been linked to Aadhaar and if the PAN card is not linked to Aadhaar by March 31, then those people will not be able to get the benefit of business and tax related activities.
Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) chairman Nitin Gupta said on Sunday that crores of PAN cards have not yet been linked to Aadhaar. Which is expected to be leaked within the deadline of 31 March.
PAN card will become inactive if it is not linked-
If the PAN card is not linked to Aadhaar by March 31, 2023, then after this date i.e. by March 31, the PAN will be declared inoperative.. Along with this, the government has said that from now till March 31, a fee of Rs 1000 will have to be paid to link PAN with Aadhaar.
The CBDT chairman further said that many awareness campaigns have been launched to link PAN card with Aadhaar card and this deadline has been extended several times. If Aadhaar is not linked with PAN by the stipulated time, the individual will not be able to get tax benefits as his PAN will become inoperative after March.
CBDT has clarified in a circular issued last year that once the PAN is deactivated, the person will have to face all the rules prescribed under the Income Tax Act. This includes situations like not filing income tax return and not filing pending return.
Along with this, he told that the announcement made in the budget will be very beneficial to make PAN a common identity. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has announced in the budget that PAN card will be accepted as a normal identity card.
