Claim: Update : In view of the difficulties arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic central government has issued a notification on 31 March 2021extending the last date for linking of Aadhaar number with PAN from 31 March 2021 to 30 June 2021.
Fact-check: Failure to link PAN with Aadhaar would attract a maximum penalty of Rs. 1,000, not Rs. 10,000 - FACTLY
Verdict: the current deadline for linking one's pan with aadhar is 31 march 2021. while it is true that one could be levied with a fine for not linking these two numbers, the maximum penalty for not linking is rs. 1,000 and not rs. 10,000. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
