PAN-Aadhaar linking deadline extended till June 30, 2023: CBDT

0

HIGHLIGHTS

* The deadline to link PAN-Aadhaar has been extended to June 30th, 2023.
* The Finance Ministry, in a fresh notification, said that from July 1st, 2023 all unlinked Pan cards shall be deemed inoperative.
* Post the deadline, users will have to pay a penalty of Rs 1,000 to make their PAN operative again.

The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has extended the last date to link
Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar to June 30, 2023.
In a press release released on March 28, 2023, CBDT said, “In order to provide some more time to the taxpayers, the date for linking PAN and Aadhaar has been extended to 30th June 2023, whereby persons can intimate their Aadhaar to the prescribed authority for Aadhaar-PAN linking without facing repercussions.”

CBDT has extended the deadline to link PAN with Aadhaar for the fifth time on Tuesday. “Notification to this effect is being issued separately,” it further added.

The deadline to link Permanent Account Number (PAN) card and the Aadhaar card has been extended to June 30th, 2023.

For those unaware, the earlier due date was March 31st.

The Finance Ministry, in a fresh notification on Tuesday, said that from July 1st, 2023 all unlinked Pan cards shall be deemed inoperative.

Besides becoming inoperative, those whose Aadhaar is not linked to PAN will not get an IT refund, interest shall not be payable on such refund for the period during which PAN remains inoperative, and finally, TDS/TCS shall be deducted/collected at a higher rate, as provided in the Act.

“Income Tax Department in a Tweet said: “As per IT Act, 1961, it is mandatory for all PAN holders, to link their PAN with Aadhaar before 31.3.23.
From 1.4.23, the unlinked PAN shall become inoperative. Please link today.”

PAN and Aadhaar link deadline extended

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has asked investors to link their PAN and Aadhaar by the said deadline or investors will not be able to initiate transactions in the financial markets like NSE and BSE.

PAN-Aadhaar linking is not required for NRIs, individuals who are not citizens of India, and senior citizens aged above 80 years.

Residents of Assam, Meghalaya and Jammu Kashmir are also not required to link their PAN and Aadhaar.

The main idea behind linking PAN and Aadhaar from the Income-tax Department of India was to address the issue of duplication.

This came after the IT Department identified cases where one person had multiple PANs, or when one PAN number was allotted to multiple individuals.

This resulted in inaccuracies in the tax collection process.

How to check Aadhar-PAN Card link status online?

For the convenience of the taxpayers, we have mentioned the steps via which they can check the status of Aadhaar-PAN linking.

* Visit the official website of the income tax department
* Click Quick Links, then Link Aadhaar Status
* Enter PAN and Aadhaar numbers
* After the server checks the status, a pop-up message will be displayed.
* If Aadhaar and PAN are linked, the message will read: “Your PAN is already linked to given Aadhaar”.
* If the two documents are not linked, following message will appear on the screen: “PAN not linked with Aadhaar. Please click on ‘Link Aadhaar’ to link your Aadhaar with PAN”.

iPhone 14 Specifications

Apple Yellow IPhone 14

iPhone 14 sports a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a wide colour gamut, 60Hz refresh rate, HDR, 1200nits brightness, a True Tone regular notch on the top to house the front camera, and a Face ID sensor.

Connectivity 5G, Wi-Fi, dual SIM, Bluetooth, GPS, and a Lightning port for charging.

Apple Introduces iPhone 14 & iPhone 14 Plus With Satellite Connectivity

iPhone 14 Pro Max clones

Instead of a standard and mini model, Apple has replaced the smallest smartphone with a much larger alternative. The iPhone 14 Plus, a revival of the suffix and a smartphone with a 6.7-inch display, joins the 6.1-inch iPhone 14.

The Super Retina XDR display is OLED, with a wide colour gamut, a 2 million:1 contrast ratio, and a peak HDR brightness of 1,200 nits. HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision are all supported.

According to rumours, Apple is reusing the A15 in the iPhone 14 rather than developing a new chip, albeit with “Pro-level” enhancements. This is a notable shift for Apple, which typically upgrades the chip with each iPhone generation.

A five-core GPU, a six-core GPU with two performance cores and four efficiency cores, a 16-core Neural Engine, and an Image Signal Processor are all part of the chip.

The primary camera is a 12-megapixel shooter with a larger sensor, an f/1.5 aperture, 1.9-micron pixels, and Sensor-Shift OIS. According to Apple, this results in a 49% improvement in low-light photography over the previous generation.

iPhone 14

The Ultra Wide camera has 12 megapixels, an aperture of f/2.4, and a 120-degree field of view. The TrueDepth Camera on the front has been updated, and the 12-megapixel shooter now has an f/1.9 aperture.

TrueDepth also has autofocus for the first time. Apple’s computational photography has been updated by moving Deep Fusion processing earlier in the shooting process. This is now known as the “Photonic Engine,” and it appears to improve low-light performance and colour rendering.

Action Mode, a stabilisation system that uses the entire camera sensor for a less shaky shot, also improves video. You can still watch 4K 60FPS video with HDR Dolby Vision, Cinematic Mode at 30fps, and Action Mode at up to 2.8K at 60fps.

An unexpected change involves SIM, as Apple embraces eSIM even more. The iPhone 14 will be sold without a SIM tray in the United States, prompting the use of eSIMs. However, SIM trays will continue to be included outside of the United States.

To maintain connectivity between people, Apple has introduced Emergency SOS via Satellite. If any of the users are in a low-signal area, they can send an emergency text message using satellites.

iPhone 14

The system can send text messages in less than 15 seconds by using a compression system to reduce the size of text messages by one-third. Apple has created a transmission centre that will route messages to emergency responders who only handle phone calls.

The satellite feature, which will be available in the United States and Canada in November, will be free for two years after purchasing an iPhone 14.

Another emergency feature is Crash Detection, which detects when a serious collision has occurred. If the iPhone 14 is unable to communicate with the owner and does not receive a response, it can automatically dial 911.

The iPhone 14’s battery life has been improved, with up to 20 hours of media streaming for the standard version and up to 26 hours for the Plus. MagSafe charging is also making a comeback.
