Pan Card – If you made a mistake linking PAN and Aadhaar, here’s how to fix it

Aadhaar-PAN linking deadline: Very little time is left before the deadline for linking PAN cards and Aadhaar cards expires. You can link your PAN card and Aadhaar card by the stipulated date or before. Today is December 24th, and you can get this done by the end of this month, i.e., the 31st.

If you do not link your PAN card with your Aadhaar card by December 31st, it will become completely inactive. This will also halt your financial and banking transactions. This will be a major blow for PAN cardholders. If you have linked your PAN to your Aadhaar card but there are some discrepancies, you can get them corrected immediately.

Why is linking the PAN card and the Aadhaar card necessary?

If, for any reason,n you have not linked your PAN card with your Aadhaar card, you may face difficulties. Many incomplete tasks will be left pending without it. For example, you will not be able to file your ITR (Income Tax Return). Large transactions related to your bank account will also be affected.

Your investments in mutual funds, shares, bonds, and insurance will be stalled. If your PAN card is not working, a higher TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) may be deducted. This will be a major setback for employees.
