<h1>India Extends Deadline for PAN-Aadhaar Linking to June 30, 2023, Avoid Penalties & Inoperative PANs under Income-tax Act.</h1> The Government of India has extended the deadline for linking PAN with Aadhaar to June 30, 2023, allowing taxpayers additional time to comply without facing penalties. Under the Income-tax Act, individuals with a PAN as of July 1, 2017, must link it to their Aadhaar. Failure to do so by July 1, 2023, will render the PAN inoperative, affecting refunds and increasing TDS and TCS rates. The PAN can be reactivated within 30 days upon linking and paying a fee. Exemptions apply to certain individuals, including non-residents and senior citizens over 80 years. Over 51 crore PANs have been linked to Aadhaar so far.
