PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline: PAN card may become 'inoperative' from Jan 2020; check status before 31 Dec
PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline: Your PAN card will be treated as 'inoperative' if you fail to link it with your Aadhaar card by 31 December 2019. The income tax department extended the Aadhaar-PAN linking deadline seven times. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) in September extended the deadline from September 30 to December 31, 2019.
Those who fail to link PAN card to Aadhaar will no longer be eligible to file for income tax returns and will have their PAN cards become inoperative. "Not linking your PAN with Aadhaar on or before 31st December 2019 shall make your PAN inoperative," it had said, The IT department said in a statement on Twitter.
Meanwhile, a public notice has been issued here asking for linking an Indian resident's PAN with his/her Aadhaar card before December 31.
While a non-resident Indian (NRI) is not required to have an Aadhar card or a PAN (Permanent Account Number), it is mandatory to link them by Dec 31 if one has them.
An NRI with financial dealings back home is advised to have both a PAN card and an Aadhaar.
As per Indian government rules, a PAN card is mandatory for NRIs if they have a taxable income in India or want to make investments in the country.
