Deadline for Linking PAN-Aadhaar Extended till March 2020

• The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the last date for the mandatory linking of the Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar till March 2020. The earlier deadline was December 31.
• This is the eighth time that the deadline has been extended for individuals to link their PAN with Aadhaar.
• In September 2018, Supreme Court had declared the Centre’s flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid and made biometric ID mandatory for the filing of I-T returns and allotment of the PAN.
