Your PAN card may become invalid without Aadhaar by December 31

New Delhi: After making Aadhaar number mandatory for filing of Income Tax returns and compulsory linking it with your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card, there could soon be a deadline.

As per a report in the Hindustan Times, government has “arrived at the tentative cutoff date of December 31”.

“People with existing PAN cards will either have to link them to Aadhaar or show proof of having applied for the 12-digit ID by December 31,” HT quoting a source added.

Aadhaar may become the only card required to identify a person, replacing Voter ID and PAN, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley recently said in the Lok Sabha.

The unique identification number Aadhaar may become the single identify card in future, he added.
