New Delhi: The PAN of taxpayers who do not provide their Aadhaar as required would no longer be valid after March 31, 2023, and they will be subject to all of the Act’s penalties for failing to provide, notify, or cite their PAN, the CBDT continued.

When your PAN expires, you will be prohibited from doing financial transactions (such as those involving mutual funds), subject to TDS at higher rates, and subject to a penalty under section 272B.

Meanwhile, if you think that your PAN might be linked with your Aadhaar already, you can check this direct link to know the status.
