The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the deadline for linking of Pan with Aadhaar until June 30 after the Supreme Court on March 13 extended the deadline linking for various services until the apex court delivered its judgment on the matter. The government, too, had contended that it was willing to extend the deadline as the matter related to Aadhaar was sub judice in the court.
In an official order, the CBDT extended the deadline for Aadhaar-Pan linking until June 30. Earlier, the deadline was March 31. The extension of deadline comes as a major relief to people who are yet to obtain or their Aadhaar cards. The new deadline for other services like bank accounts and phone numbers have not been announced yet.
