New Delhi: Twitter is abuzz with hilarious reactions and memes as people face technical issues to link their PAN card with Aadhaar on the last date (March 31, 2021) set by the government.
If citizens fail to link their Aadhaar Card and PAN Card by March 31, 2021, their PAN will become invalid and they might be responsible to pay a penalty of up to Rs 1,000, as per the Finance Bill, 2021.
However, the central government has extended the last date for linking of Aadhaar number with PAN from March 31, 2021 to June 30, 2021, in view of the difficulties arising in linking the card, the Income Tax Department said on its official Twitter handle.
