Aadhaar and PAN card linking date extended…

 

Aadhaar and PAN card linking date extended: The central government has extended the last date for taxpayers to link their Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar. According to a statement released by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the date has been extended to June 30, 2023. It said that notification in this regard is being issued separately. Linking PAN with Aadhaar is important to help prevent tax evasion. If the taxpayer fails to link the two documents, his/her PAN card will be deactivated. In such cases the taxpayer cannot furnish, intimate or quote his PAN

The CBDT has also mentioned that if a taxpayer has not linked his/her Aadhaar and PAN, he/she will face penal action from July 1. This includes:

No tax refund is allowed against such PAN cards

If the taxpayer links the two documents after filing the return, the Income Tax Department will not pay interest on the refund for the period during which the two documents were not linked.

Both Tax Deduct

ed at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) will be deducted/collected at a higher rate in such cases.
