The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the deadline to link Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar till December 31st, 2019 by an order on Saturday, 21st September 2019. The earlier deadline to link PAN with Aadhaar was 30th September 2019.
The government has made this extension for the seventh time for the individuals to link their PAN with Aadhaar. The policy-making body for the Income-Tax Department stated that a notification was issued on Friday in this connection extending the date from September 30, 2019, to December 31, 2019.
The Aadhaar scheme, which is a flagship of the central government, was declared constitutionally valid by the Supreme Court in September last year which also held that the biometric ID would remain compulsory for the filing of IT returns and for the allotment of PAN.
The Income Tax Act also states under section 139 AA (2) that every individual eligible to obtain Aadhaar, and having a PAN as on July 1, 2017, must intimate his or her Aadhaar details to the tax authorities.
