According to the IT Department, if you do not link your PAN to Aadhaar, then it will become invalid under Section-139AA of the Income Tax Act. And once it becomes invalid, you will not even be able to file ITR online and your tax refund may get stuck. Apart from this, you will not be able to use PAN in any financial transaction.
As per latest Govt. of India directive, if you fail to do PAN Aadhaar linking, your PAN will become ‘inoperative’ after June 30, 2021.
