Why is it being asked again and again to link a PAN card with an Aadhaar card? What will happen with it?

Linking a PAN card with an Aadhaar card is being asked again and again because it is mandatory for individuals to connect their PAN card with their Aadhaar card under the Indian Income Tax Act. This is being done to prevent tax evasion and improve the accuracy of tax records.

By linking the two cards, the government can ensure that a person is not using multiple PAN cards to evade taxes. It also helps identify and verify taxpayers’ identity, as both the PAN card and the Aadhaar card contain personal information such as the individual’s name, date of birth, and address.

If an individual does not link their PAN card with their Aadhaar card, their PAN card may become invalid and they may face penalties or fines. Additionally, they may not be able to file their income tax returns or conduct certain financial transactions. Therefore, it is essential for individuals to link their PAN cards with their Aadhaar cards.
