PAN Aadhaar Link New Update, No Penalty on TDS TCS as per CBDT rules

PAN Aadhaar Link New Update: As we all know the Permanent Identity Number (PAN) and Aadhaar card are important documents for every Indian citizen. While the Income Tax Department (IT) issues PAN cards, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) issues Aadhaar cards. PAN is a unique identification number given to individuals and businesses for tax purposes. Aadhaar number is a unique 12-digit number assigned to every Indian resident. However, the IT department has made it mandatory to link PAN and Aadhaar cards. 

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has released a notification stating that the higher rate of TDS and TCS rates will not apply if the deductee or collectee dies before linking PAN and Aadhaar. On August, CBDT released a notification in this regard. Previously, the Department received many complaints from taxpayers claiming that the beneficiary and beneficiaries died within a certain period. In these cases, tax applications are delayed because the tax deductor or collector is unable to link the deceased person’s PAN and Aadhaar card.
