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.
No higher TDS/TCS is applicable for these deductees
According to the PAN Aadhaar Link New Update, if any taxpayers do not link PAN to Aadhaar, TDS will be deducted by 20%. Also, TCS will be charged 5% more under Section 206CC. “To address the concerns raised by taxpayers, the Commission said that higher TDS/TCS rates are applicable for transactions completed before March 31, 2024.
In case of death of the payable or the taxpayer dies, before May 2024, not required withdrawing or collecting the taxes due before May 31. The PAN Aadhaar Link new guidelines ensure that even if the PAN and Aadhaar link process is pending, the tax deducted or collected will not be excessively penalized. This guideline is issued to ease the burden on taxpayers and their families during such typical and sensitive times.
