The central government has extended the last date for a taxpayer to link the Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar. According to a release by Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), the date has been extended till June 30, 2023. It said that notification in this regard is being issued separately. Linking PAN with Aadhaar is important to help curb tax evasion. If a taxpayer fails to link the two documents, his/her PAN card will become inoperative. The taxpayer will not be able to furnish, intimate or quote his PAN in such cases.
