PAN-Aadhaar Linking: If you have an Aadhaar or a PAN card and still haven’t linked them, this news is for you. You need to link PAN Aadhaar by June 30 to avoid paying Rs 1,000 penalty to the government. The Central Board of Direct taxes, or CBDT has extended the deadline to link PAN-Aadhaar to March 31, 2023, but such people who are yet to link will have to pay a fine. A penalty of Rs 500 is to be paid “in a case where such intimation is made within three months from the date referred to in sub-section,” that is by June 30, 2022. After that, one has to pay a fine of Rs 1,000 to link Aadhaar-PAN.

What Does Govt Order on Aadhaar PAN Linking Mean?
The government order clearly states that if you link your PAN Aadhaar immediately, you will have to pay a penalty of Rs 500, which is much lower than the same if you miss the June 30 deadline. From July 1, the income tax department will charge you Rs 1,000 for linking PAN Aadhaar.
