Note - It is mandatory to link your Aadhar Card with PAN Card before 30th June 2023 as per the regulations of the Government of India. If it is not linked within the stipulated time, the PAN Card will tend to become inoperative.
An individual may be liable to pay a penalty charge if the PAN Card and Aadhar card are not linked. Such a penalty is charged by the Income Tax Department of India.

An Aadhaar card provides multiple benefits to a user, including Direct Benefit Transfer, Jan Dhan Yojana accepting Aadhaar, etc. Similarly, your PAN card is used for various financial transactions every day.
Therefore linking the two documents will allow the government to curb incidents of tax evasion and track every transaction. So, link your Aadhaar with PAN if you haven’t already!
