11 crore PAN cards are not linked with Aadhaar numbers, according to the Ministry of Finance. If not linked by June 30, 2023 (extended deadline), these PANs will become inoperative and can only be reactivated by paying a penalty of Rs 1,000. As of January 31, 2024, the government has collected Rs 601.97 cr as penalties from over 60 lakh people who linked their PAN and Aadhaar after the deadline.
