Income Tax Department Issues Warning As Deadline For Linking Aadhaar And PAN Approaches

New Delhi: The deadline of June 30 to link Aadhaar with their PAN card is approaching. Earlier, while extending the last date, the Income Tax department also imposed a fine of Rs 1,000 for taxpayers who apply for the linking till the last date. In a fresh tweet, the IT department has again reminded taxpayers to not miss the deadline, warning them “miss it at your own risk”. According to officials, linking one’s PAN with Aadhaar is an important step to help curb tax evasion.

“As per Income-tax Act, 1961, it is mandatory for all PAN holders, who do not fall under the exempt category, to link their PAN with Aadhaar on or before 30.06.2023. Please link your PAN & Aadhaar today,” the Income Tax department said in a June 13 tweet.


Here’s the penal action that taxpayers will face if their Aadhaar and PAN are not linked by June 30:

  • PAN cards will become inoperative
  • Both tax deducted at source (TDS) and tax collected at source (TCS) will be deducted/collected at a higher rate
  • Any pending refunds and interest on such refunds will not be issued

How to check Aadhar-PAN Card link status online?

Visit the Income Tax e-filing portal to check the status

  • On the homepage, click Quick Links, then Link Aadhaar Status
  • The page that opens will have two fields where the taxpayer needs to enter PAN and Aadhaar numbers
  • After the server checks the status, a pop-up message will be displayed. If Aadhaar and PAN are linked, the message will read: “Your PAN is already linked to the given Aadhaar”.
  • If the two documents are not linked, the following message will appear on the screen: “PAN not linked with Aadhaar. Please click on ‘Link Aadhaar’ to link your Aadhaar with PAN”.
  • In case the Aadhaar-PAN link is in progress, the taxpayer will see this message: “Your Aadhaar-PAN linking request has been sent to UIDAI for validation. Please check the status later by clicking on the ‘Link Aadhaar Status’ link on Home Page.”

Taxpayers can also check the status by logging into the Income Tax portal and completing the following steps

  • After logging in, visit the ‘Dashboard’ on the homepage and click the ‘Link Aadhaar Status’ option
  • Go to ‘My Profile’ and click on the ‘Link Aadhaar Status’ option
  • If your Aadhaar is linked to the PAN, the Aadhaar number will be displayed. If the two documents are not linked, ‘Link Aadhaar Status’ will be displayed
  • The website will also show a check-the-status later if the request to link your Aadhaar with PAN card is pending with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI)
