New Delhi : The union finance ministry is likely to decide on Thursday on whether to extend till year-end the deadline for linking PAN with biometric identifier Aadhaar, a source said. The cut-off ends on Thursday. The Aadhaar matter is before the Supreme Court with next date of hearing posted for November, and the deadline for Aadhaar linking for availing of social sector schemes has been extended till December-end.

“The government will decide tomorrow (Thursday) if the deadline for PAN-Aadhaar linking will be extended,” the source said. Section 139 AA (2) of the Income Tax Act says every person with PAN as on July 1, 2017, and is eligible to obtain Aadhaar must intimate his Aadhaar number to tax authorities. However, those categorised as non-resident Indians as per income tax laws, people who are not citizens of India, those above 80 years of age and residents of Assam, Meghalaya and J&K are exempt.
