Aadhaar Card and PAN Card Link: If you don’t link your Aadhaar card and PAN card by March 31, 2022, your PAN card will expire, according to the Income Tax Department. Your PAN card will stay merely a piece of plastic if it is inactive, which simply means that you won’t be able to use it anywhere. Recently, the Income Tax Department tweeted about this as well.
Tweet by the Income Tax Department:
According to the Income Tax Act of 1961, the final date for connecting is today, the Income Tax Department stated in a tweet, “As per Income-tax Act, 1961, the last date for linking PAN with Aadhaar is 31.3.2023, for all PAN holders who do not fall under the exempt category, failing which the unlinked PAN shall become inoperative. Don’t delay, link today!”
