Aadhaar-PAN Link fees: What will happen after March 31?
PAN Cards not linked with Aadhaar Cards by March 31 will become inoperative if there is no further extension in the deadline. The Income Tax Department is unlikely to extend the PAN-Aadhaar link due date.
If your PAN Card becomes inoperative then you may have to apply for a new Permanent Account Number (PAN) and get it linked to your Aadhaar to carry out various transactions. But doing so may have implications for taxpayers, who quoted their old PAN in various financial transactions in past, but made it inoperative by not linking with Aadhaar by March 31. Therefore, it is better to link both numbers by March 31.
The Income Tax Department has not yet clarified the steps to be followed by people who may fail to link their PAN and Aadhaar. It is expected that some clarity on this may come soon.
