Pan Aadhar Link: How to Link Your Aadhar With Pan Card?

Linking PAN with Aadhaar is mandatory for all Indian citizens. The last date to link was 30th June 2023, and from 1st July 2023, any PAN card not linked with Aadhaar became inactive. Later, the Government of India and the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) extended the deadline to 31st May 2024.

If you link PAN and Aadhaar after this date, you must pay a late fee of ₹1,000. In addition, people who fail to link their PAN with Aadhaar may face a higher rate of TDS/TCS deductions.

If you have already applied for linking, you can also check your PAN-Aadhaar linking status online.
