Deadline for PAN-Aadhaar Linking - May 31, 2024
Important Update for Those Who Haven’t Linked Their PAN with Aadhaar Card Yet. Failure to Link PAN with Aadhaar by May 31st Could Result in Doubled TDS Deductions. The Income Tax Department has announced that linking PAN with Aadhaar by this deadline will prevent any adverse actions. However, biometric linking is essential to avoid increased deduction rates according to income tax rules.
This decision is intended to assist taxpayers whose PANs were deactivated due to non-linkage with Aadhaar.
Official data as of January 29, 2024, shows that approximately 11.48 crore PANs were not linked with Aadhaar. Responding in Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary revealed that the government levied a fine of Rs 601.97 crore for delays in linking PAN with Aadhaar between July 1, 2023, and January 31, 2024.
How to Link PAN with Aadhaar
Linking Via the Income-Tax Department Portal
Step 1: Go to incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in, the e-filing portal of the I-T department.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Link Aadhaar’ option under the ‘Quick Links’ section of the webpage.
Step 3: This will redirect you to a new page where the PAN number, Aadhaar number and other required details like your name need to be entered.
Linking Via SMS
Step 1: Dial 567678 or 56161 on a mobile device to send an SMS. The format should be UIDPAN (10-digit PAN card number), 12-digit Aadhaar card number, and space.
