The government of India and other significant organisations such as the Reserve Bank of India has announced a set of new rules applicable in July 2022 to the linkage of Pan Card to Aadhar Card, Income Tax, TDS and Credit Card. These new rules are bound to bring changes to the current framework of society. Here, we have explained all the new rules in detail.
Pan and Aadhar Card Linkage New Rules:
The income tax department of India had made it mandatory for people to link their aadhar to the pan card. However, a few people failed to complete the necessary requirement before the original last date of 31st March 2022. It was announced that those people would be able to link their pan with aadhar with a late payment fee of ₹500 until 30th June 2022. Now, the late fee payment has doubled in July 2022. From now on, those who will link their aadhar card and pan card would have to pay ₹1,000.
