NEW DELHI : After extending the last date for the seventh time earlier, the income tax department has now set 31 December as the deadline for linking PAN card with Aadhaar card. You can go to the income tax department's e-filing portal to complete the interlinking process and also to check the status of your PAN-Aadhaar linking. If you miss the deadline, your PAN card might become "inoperative" from 2020. "Not linking your PAN with Aadhaar on or before 31st December, 2019 shall make your PAN inoperative," it had said. The income tax department might, however, allow make such inoperative PAN cards operative once again after they are linked to Aadhaar.
