Last night, the most awaited update from Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has come wherein the date of linking of PAN with the Aadhar Card has been extended upto 31 March 2019. This is the 5th time when the government has extended this date for individuals to link their Permanent Account Number to their Aadhar Card.
Last Night, the policy making authority of Income Tax Department had taken this decision and extended this date upto 31 March 2019.
It can be easily understood that this fresh Income Tax Department updates has come against the backdrop of the Supreme Court order earlier this year directing extension of 31 March 2018 deadline for linking Aadhar card with various other services.
The Indian Government has made Aadhar card mandatory for filing of Income tax return and obtaining new pan card.
According to the updates till March 2018, over 16.64 crore PANs, out of total about 33 Crore, have been linked with the Aadhar Card.
