    Frequently Asked Questions
   </h2><h3>
    1. What happens if Aadhaar and PAN are not linked?
   </h3><p>
    The deadline for linking your Aadhaar and PAN is June 30, 2023. If you do not complete the linking process by this date, your PAN will become invalid or inoperative. A fee of ₹1000 will be levied before you submit a request for an Aadhaar-PAN linkage request on the e-filing portal. This fee must be paid via the e-Pay Tax feature provided on the e-filing Portal.
   </p><h3>
    2. Is PAN automatically linked to Aadhaar?
   </h3><p>
    No, the PAN is not automatically linked to your Aadhaar. You need to follow the steps outlined above to link the two numbers. If you have not done this, complete the linking process by June 30, 2023, to avoid invalidating your PAN.
