Nearly 18 crore PAN cards to be removed across the country says sources. As per the IT department, PAN cards that are not linked to the Aadhaar card will be deactivated.
The government has directed the people to link the PAN card with Aadhaar before the deadline. The government identified people using more than one PAN card and to identify the tax evaders and those who transact large sums, the govt asked everyone to link the cards.
The government found that many people are hesitating to link the PAN as they cannot take more than one card.
In a country with a population of 130 crores, only 1.5 crore people pay income tax. In this context, the government has launched a transparent tax system for the convenience of taxpayers.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that this move would ensure people that do not have to roam around offices to pay taxes. He also appealed to the citizens to pay taxes responsibly.
