Save Rs 1000 with your PAN Cards-Know How?

PAN card holders who haven't connected their PAN and Aadhaar numbers by March 31, 2022 will be penalised. The deadline for linking an Aadhaar card with a PAN card has been extended by the government to March 31, 2022. If you don't, your PAN card will become invalid and you'll be in big trouble. PAN Aadhaar linkage would cost Rs 1,000 after the planned date.

Penalty procedures under the I-T Act now have until March 31, 2022 as their new deadline for completion. In addition, the Adjudicating Authority has been given until March 2022 to provide notice and pass an order under the Prohibition of Benami Property Transactions Act, 1988.

However, even if you miss the deadline, you may still link your PAN and Aadhaar accounts, albeit with a fine of Rs 1,000 and other penalties.

Implications if PAN is not connected to Aadhaar

The TDS on interest earned above Rs 10,000 for bank accounts connected to a PAN card is 10%.

Additionally, a Rs 10,000 penalty may be imposed under Section 272B of the Income Tax Act if you fail to connect the two papers by the deadline and your PAN becomes inoperative; it would be presumed that your PAN was not given in accordance with the law.
