The government has extended the deadline for linking PAN with Aadhaar by three months till June 30.

The income tax department says it has received representations from taxpayers that the last date for intimating the Aadhaar number may further be extended in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Keeping in view the difficulties faced by the taxpayers, the central government has issued notification extending the last date for the intimation of Aadhaar number and linking thereof with PAN to June 30, 2021,” the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) says in a statement.
