Hyderabad: The central government on Wednesday extended the linking of the Aadhaar number with PAN to June 30, 2021. Wednesday was the last date to link the Aadhar with the PAN.

"In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, certain time limits specified under the various tax and Benami laws have been extended by the Taxation and Other Laws (Relaxation and Amendment of Certain Provisions) Act, 2020 and subsequent notifications issued under this Act. The extended last date for intimating the Aadhaar number under the Income-tax Act, 1961 (the Act) for the purposes of linking Aadhaar with PAN is 31st March 2021," said the centre.
