Time was given by the government till 31 March 2021 for linking PAN and Aadhaar. It was told that if the Aadhaar-PAN link is not made within the stipulated time, then the PAN card will become inactive. Also, under Section 272B of the Income Tax Act, a penalty of 10 thousand rupees may also have to be paid. In such a situation, people all over the country started linking their PAN and Aadhaar.

On the last day i.e. 31 March, such a large number of people got engaged in this work that the website of the Income Tax Department was stalled. Either the website opened very slowly, or it did not open at all. Because of which people are facing a lot of difficulty. Despite repeated attempts, the work of the people is not being done. People also expressed pain on social media. Here are some examples of what people are saying:
To go digital. First Govt should ensure that all the portals should work efficiently on the last day of any deadline.#PANcard #aadhaarpanlink@IncomeTaxIndia @nsitharamanoffc pic.twitter.com/jRAtW15QBx

It doesn’t matter if we are doing it on 1st day or last day.
It’s their Job to keep website up and running since it’s going to be last day,
They should have already done website maintenance 2-3 weeks prior 31st March.
