If they are not, PAN will be considered invalid to useUntil 2017, income tax could be e-filed without the PAN-Aadhaar link. Earlier, the deadline to link the both was August 31, 2017, and then kept getting postponed until the central government put a stop. Even though the I-T returns can be filed, the returns cannot be processed without the linkage.

This is the eighth time in a row that the government has extended the due date for the linking of Aadhaar and PAN. Earlier to this, the deadline was June 30, 2020. As there are many people who are struggling to rectify the detail mismatch in their Aadhaar and PAN, the government kept extending the dates.

1: Online linking without logging in to income tax e-filing portal.

2: Online linking using the account.

3. Linking PAN-Aadhaar via SMS.
