Beware PAN Card Holders! You May Have To Pay Rs 10,000 Fine If Don’t Do This Work Before Deadline

The Income Tax Department has fixed the deadline for linking PAN with Aadhaar by 31 March 2021. Failure to do so will make the PAN card useless unless the PAN Aadhaar linking deadline is extended. The Income Tax Department has said that PAN card holders who do not link PAN to Aadhaar will have to bear the consequences under the Income Tax Act. If the penalty is to be avoided, then link the PAN to Aadhaar before the deadline is over.

Under the Income Tax Act, the PAN card holder will not only be considered a non-PAN card holder, but he can also be fined Rs 10,000 under the Income Tax Act 272B. If you go to a bank and deposit or withdraw more than Rs 50,000 to open an account, then you need to provide your PAN card. If you give incorrect or inactive PAN, you can be fined Rs 10,000.
