Reportedly, individuals will not receive a tax refund, and tax deducted at source (TDS) and tax collected at source (TCS) will be deducted/collected at a higher rate after their PAN becomes inoperative. However, after June 30, PAN can be made operational again within 30 days by paying a Rs. 1,000 late fee. Over 51 crore PANs have been linked to Aadhaar to date.
