Mandatory linking of PAN with Aadhaar and updating the linkage status with Axis Bank

As per section 139AA of the Income-tax Act, 1961 (‘Act’), every person who has been allotted a Permanent Account Number (‘PAN’) and is eligible to obtain an Aadhaar number must link their PAN with Aadhaar.

Further, as per Rule 114AAA of the Income-tax Rules, 1962, where a person fails to intimate their Aadhaar number as per Section 139AA (2) of the Act before 31st March 2022 the PAN of such person has become in-operative.

Adverse consequences for inoperative PANs are effective from 01st July 2023. Primary implications of non-linking PAN with Aadhaar are application of higher TDS/TCS rates. For more details, please refer to CBDT’s latest Circular No. 03 of 2023 dated 28/03/2023.In order to enjoy seamless banking, kindly link your PAN with Aadhaar.
