Pan-Aadhaar Link Deadline: After giving information and appeals several times, the Income Tax Department has now issued a warning that if the Aadhaar-PAN link is not done within the stipulated time, what could be the losses. The deadline for linking is also left only till tomorrow.
New Delhi. There has been talk of linking PAN and Aadhaar for two years, but till now crores of PAN holders have not linked their Aadhaar. Such people feel that this is a useless work, then they must see this warning of the Income Tax Department. The department had made the request till now, but now the warning is going on regarding this. The department has clearly said that if PAN and Aadhaar are not linked till June 30 (Pan-Aadhaar Link Deadline), then many problems may have to be faced.
The Income Tax Department has said that if you do not link your PAN and Aadhaar by June 30, 2023, then first of all your PAN card will become inoperative. This means that you will not be able to use your PAN wherever PAN is required. Along with this, many works under the Income Tax Act will stop without PAN.
These 4 works will be closed
- If you have any income tax refund outstanding, then after the PAN is deactivated, its refund will not be available.
- You will not even get any interest on this refund stuck in the Income Tax Department.
- Under sub-section (4) of the Income Tax Act, no interest will be given on the refund by the department until your PAN is re-activated.
- If you have any tax arrears under Chapter XVIIB of the Income Tax Department and you have to deposit it, then due to PAN being inoperative, you will have to pay tax at a higher rate under section 206AA.
- Even under Chapter XVII-BB of the Income Tax Act, if any taxpayer has to deduct TCS, then that too will be deducted at a higher rate under section 206CC.
… then you will have to loose your pocket
The Income Tax Department has said that if PAN and Aadhaar are not linked within the stipulated time, then from July 1, its losses will start appearing. This will remain so until you get your PAN card operative again. You will also have to pay for this work. This means that if the inoperative PAN is activated again, then a fee of Rs 1000 will have to be paid. This is the reason why the department is constantly warning that PAN and Aadhaar should be linked.
