New Delhi, Business Desk. The government recently extended the deadline for linking PAN to Aadhaar on 31 March 2021. Those who have not yet linked their PAN card to Aadhaar number, can do this work till this date. PAN cards which are not linked to the base by this deadline will be deactivated and there is a provision for penalty for using such passive PAN cards. Let us know how the PAN card can be linked to Aadhaar.
Understanding & keeping in mind the times that we are in, we have extended deadlines. PAN – AADHAAR linking can be done till 31st March, 2021. We do hope this helps you plan things better.
PAN number can be easily linked to 12-digit Aadhaar card number through e-filing portal (www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in). Apart from this, PAN number can also be linked to Aadhaar through SMS. For this, you have to write the message in UIDPAN <12digit Aadhaar> <10digitPAN> format and SMS it to the number 567678 or 56161. PAN number can also be linked to Aadhaar card through offline. For this, PAN service centers of NSDL and UTITSL will have to be contacted.
