Today, i.e., March 31, 2021, is the last date to link PAN with Aadhaar. If you do not link your PAN with Aadhaar number by the end of the day today, it will cost you. Not only will your PAN become inoperative, but you will also have to shell out a penalty amount of up to Rs 1,000 if you link the two any day on or after April 1. This is as per a new section 234H added to the Income-tax Act, 1961, by the government at the time of passing of the Finance Act, 2021 in the lower house of the Parliament on March 23, 2021.
As per section 234H, if an individual having PAN and Aadhaar does not link the same before the notified due date (currently March 31, 2021), then linking the same after the expiry of the due date will invite a fee. Do keep in mind that the government is yet to prescribe there actual fee that will be levied on linking of PAN and Aadhaar after the expiry of the due date, however, the maximum amount cannot exceed Rs 1,000.
