PAN and Aadhaar not linked? Penalty deadline for TDS deductors extended—here’s what it means

The Indian government has extended the deadline for integrating Aadhaar and PAN (Permanent Account Number) to June 30, 2024. Those who haven’t connected their PAN to Aadhaar yet are eligible for this extension. The PAN can stop working if the connectivity is not finished before the deadline.

Furthermore, the 15th of July, 2024, has been added to the deadline for deductors to provide Form 16, a certificate for tax deducted at source (TDS). With this extension, deductors will have additional time to meet the TDS standards.

In order to avoid penalties and guarantee compliance with tax legislation, it is crucial for people and deductors to finish these procedures within the extended deadlines.
