As an alert to taxpayers, the Income Tax department has already announced that the last date to link PAN card with Aadhaar card is March 31. It must be done to file income tax return (ITR). And, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) Chairman Sushil Chandra has even issued a warning, saying CBDT might even consider to cancel the PAN cards of those who are yet to link it with their Aadhaar card. "By linking with Aadhaar, We will know whether there are any duplicate PANs or not. And there are certain duplicate PANs... If it is not linked, we may cancel the PAN also," he had said.
