The Income Tax department said that taxpayers who had not yet linked their Aadhaar cards with their Permanent Account Number (PAN) and did not do so by March 31 would be required to pay a penalty between Rs 500 and Rs 1,000. The Central Board of Direct Taxes said a late fee of Rs 500 will be levied in cases where the Aadhar is linked within the next three months or by June 30, 2022. A fine of Rs 1,000 will be levied thereafter.
