Income Tax Department urges Taxpayers to link PAN with Aadhaar

The Income Tax Department has urged the individuals to link their PAN with Aadhaar before May 31st, 2024 in order to avoid tax deduction at a higher rate.

The Aadhaar-PAN linking is done automatically during the application stage for new applicants of PAN card. Existing PAN holders, who were allotted PAN on or before 01-07-2017, are required to link PAN with Aadhaar manually.

Kind Attention Taxpayers,

Please link your PAN with Aadhaar before May 31st, 2024, if you haven’t already, in order to avoid tax deduction at a higher rate.
