April 01, 2019:
On Sunday, Govt, extended the deadline for linking PAN with biometric ID Aadhaar by 6 months till Sep 30, an official statement said.
This is the 6th time the Govt has extended the deadline for individuals to link their Permanent Account Number (PAN) to Aadhaar.
In June last year, the government had said that PAN has to be linked with the bio-metric ID by March 31.
"....now the cut-off date for intimating the Aadhaar number and linking PAN with Aadhaar is Sept 30, 2019, unless specifically exempted," the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said in a statement.
However, quoting of Aadhaar will be mandatory while filing income tax returns (ITRs) with effect from April 1, 2019.
The CBDT said there were reports that those PANs which are not linked with Aadhaar number by March 31 may be invalidated, following which the matter was considered by the Govt. and the date extended till Sept 30.
