Link your PAN Card with Aadhaar before June 30: Steps to link PAN with Aadhaar

The last date to link Aadhaar with Pan Card has been extended till June 30, 2021. Here is a step-by-step guide you can follow to link PAN with Aadhaar.

The previous deadline for linking PAN card with Aadhaar was March 31, 2021, end of the current financial year. However, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) extended the deadline for linking of Permanent Account Number (PAN) card with the Aadhaar card deadline by three months till June 30, 2021. The decision was taken considering the disruption caused by COVID-19, said the Income Tax Department.

According to the I-T Department, if you do not link your PAN to Aadhaar, then it will become invalid under Section-139AA of the Income Tax Act. And once it becomes invalid, you will not even be able to file ITR online and your tax refund may get stuck. Apart from this, you will not be able to use PAN in any financial transaction.
However, you can link your Aadhaar number with PAN in any of the two ways:

You can link your PAN with Aadhaar by the following process:

  • After that, log in by entering the User ID, password and date of birth.
  • A pop-up window will appear, prompting you to link your PAN with Aadhaar. If not, go to ‘Profile Settings’ on the Menu bar and click on ‘Link Aadhaar’.
