PAN-Aadhar linking deadline extended, here's the new date
PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline extended: Linking your PAN and Aadhaar card is now mandatory. If your Permanent Account Number (PAN) is not linked with your Aadhaar number, your PAN card may become inoperable. Deadline to link PAN and Aadhaar was September 30, 2019. But now, the same deadline has been extended. Now you can link your PAN and Aadhaar card before December 31, 2019.
The previous date was notified by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on March 31, 2019. However, the deadline was previously extended from August 31, 2017, to December 31, 2017, and subsequently to March 31, 2018, followed by June 30, 2018.
