Link your PAN and Aadhaar by June 30: Here’s all you need to know

The income tax department of India has announced that June 30 would be the deadline for citizens to link their Aadhaar cards with their PAN cards. The income tax department added that failure to do this will result in the respective PAN cards becoming in-operative on July 1.

The initial deadline for linking PAN and Aadhaar had been March 31, 2023, which had been extended to June 30.

While the deadline has been extended several times in the past, should the PAN be deactivated users may lose access to mutual funds and stock investment. According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) rules, this linkage is required for investment purposes.
