Effective from 31st May 2024, all the prescribed PAN Cards, if not linked with prescribed Aadhaar Cards, some sections may be considered invalid. During the presentation of the budget, these amendments in the PAN-Aadhaar linking rules were announced.
CBDT has confirmed that the last date for linking PAN to Aadhaar is 31st May 2024.
What Does Invalid Mean?
Invalid means you can no longer consider PAN as your legal identity proof if it is not linked to your Aadhaar Card. The only means to revalidate your PAN Card as your legal identity proof is to get it linked to your prescribed Aadhaar Card before 31st May 2024.

This amendment in the law is already active from 1 September. As per some sources, there is still no clarity on the consequences if the PAN card is not linked to the Aadhaar card. It is only said that the card will become inoperative.
The government should make it clear whether the lost PAN cards can be activated again or not. As per the government rules, it is necessary to link the PAN card to the Aadhaar card. If you do not link, then your PAN card will become inoperative.
