The PAN-Aadhaar demographic mismatching fix has been mentioned by the Income Tax Department. The taxpayers are already aware that there is a Rs. 1000 fine if the PAN and Aadhaar are not linked by June 30, 2023. Additionally, the taxpayer’s PAN card will expire after the due date, making it impossible for you to submit a claim for a deduction or a refund.

However, a biometric-based authentication has been offered in order to further promote the seamless connection of PAN and Aadhaar.
