Last Chance for Taxpayers: PAN-Aadhaar Linking Deadline Extended! Avoid Hefty Penalties Now!

In a move to assuage taxpayers grappling with missed deadlines, the Income Tax Department has gracefully extended the window for linking PAN Cards with Aadhaar beyond its erstwhile cutoff in June 2023.

This respite arrives with a new deadline, generously pushed to the horizon of May 31, 2024, offering a lifeline to taxpayers to harmonize their PAN and Aadhaar credentials sans the looming specter of penalties.

The repercussions of neglecting this linkage are not to be trifled with, potentially rendering the PAN ‘inoperative,’ unleashing a cascade of tribulations such as the imposition of escalated TDS rates, notably a punitive 20 percent levy on house rent allowances.

With an astute eye on mollifying the tribulations faced by entities tasked with collecting Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) and Tax Collected at Source (TCS) at regular intervals, this governmental maneuver seeks to alleviate their burdens.

Highlighted within the annals of a circular issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on April 24, lies a stark reminder of the deluge of grievances inundating taxpayers, perturbingly spotlighting notices bemoaning ‘short-deduction/collection’ of TDS/TCS owing to the shackles of inoperative PANs.

In a bid to assuage these festering anxieties, the CBDT has delineated a path forward: Transactions consummated until the vernal threshold of March 31, 2024, and cases where the PAN seamlessly melds with Aadhaar’s digital tapestry by May 31, 2024, shall be spared the guillotine of augmented tax levies.
