- The due date of linking PAN and Aadhaar number has been extended from 31 March, 2020 to 30th June, 2020.
- If you do not link your PAN Card with Aadhaar by 31st March 2020, in such case your PAN will become inoperative. Basically inoperative PAN means that no financial transaction can be performed by you where giving PAN details are mandatory. Although the government has not clarified yet how inoperative PAN Card will be reactivated.
- Under budget 2019 government proposes that Aadhaar and PAN can be used interchangeably. Thus wherever it is required to quote PAN, Aadhaar number can be quoted. The income Tax department will generate a virtual PAN number linked to your aadhaar card. In future, it will serve as your PAN. An important point to note is that is for the persons who do not have PAN Card. For person having PAN, linking of Aadhar and PAN is still mandatory for filing ITR.
