According to sources it was been in news that it is mandatory to link Aadhaar Card with PAN Card by 31st August 2017 , but now the Government on Thursday extended the deadline by more four months for linking PAN with Aadhaar i.e. till 31st December 2017. This extension has given huge relief to those who have filed their ITR by the due date 5th August 2017, who were unable to link their PAN with Aadhaar Number. The main reason behind deadline extension is because many taxpayers were unable to file their Income Tax Return because they could not link their PAN with Aadhaar. The tax department even had received lots of complaints from taxpayers sayings they were unable to link their Aadhaar with PAN due to their minor difference in name or details in both Aadhaar and PAN, also few people were not holding Aadhaar Card yet.
