The deadline to link your PAN with Aadhaar has been extended from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023. However, starting April 1, 2022, linking your PAN and Aadhaar will cost you money. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) notified this via a notification dated March 29, 2022, as well as a press release on March 30, 2022. The Finance Act of 2021 added a new section 234H to the Act to complete the PAN-Aadhaar connecting procedure for detecting fake PANs. This section states that if a person who is required to intimate his Aadhaar under subsection (2) of section 139 AA fails to do so on or before a notified date, he will be liable to pay a fee of not more than Rs 1,000, as may be prescribed, at the time of making intimation under subsection (2) of section 139AA after the notified date.
