PAN AADHAR LINK – Easy ways to link Aadhar with PAN – PAN and Aadhar

As per section 139AA of the Income Tax Act 1961, it is mandatory for all Permanent Account Number (PAN) cardholders to link their Aadhaar with PAN.

If your Aadhaar is not linked then your PAN will be considered inoperative and thus will have an impact on TDS rate at the time of receiving any policy payouts.

If your Aadhaar and PAN are not linked TDS rate on your taxable payout* will be 20% as per Section 206AA of Income Tax Act, 1961 (Effective from July 1, 2021)

 

*Applicable on payouts made to Resident Indian policyholders
