PAN-Aadhaar Linking Deadline Extended Till June 30, 2023

What’s new?

The center has increased the deadline for PAN-Aadhar linking to June 30, which seems great. India’s population is so large that completing anything like this, where the user charges a fine of Rs. 1000, takes time. Many people are still unaware of why this linking is important and why we should execute this linking process.

If any person is failed to link their PAN with Aadhar by 30^th June 2023, the PAN becomes inoperative, and that person has to face severe consequences. But the government has also paved the way for those special category persons. The center has imposed a fine of Rs.1000 for the linking process after the deadline, and the government also said that it might take upto 30days to become the PAN re-activated again.

People who are exempted from these linking processes

The requirement of linking Aadhaar with PAN does not apply to four specific categories.

The inhabitants reside in the states of Assam, Jammu, Kashmir, and Meghalaya.

According to the Income-tax Act of 1961, individuals not residents of India but of Indian origin, commonly referred to as non-resident Indians (NRIs), are subject to certain regulations.

Individuals who have reached the age of 80 or above at any point in the preceding year are eligible under these criteria.

Individuals who do not hold Indian citizenship.

Individuals falling under the aforementioned categories are not required to link their PAN with their Aadhaar by the deadline. They do, however, have the option to voluntarily link both documents if they so desire. On the other hand, other individuals must link their Aadhaar with their PAN by the June 30 deadline.
