Know when PAN-Aadhaar will be necessary
If someone deposits Rs 20 lakh in cash in one or more accounts in a financial year, then he will have to submit PAN-Aadhaar.
Linking of PAN-Aadhaar will be necessary even for withdrawing Rs 20 lakh from any one or more accounts in a banking company or co-operative bank or post office in a financial year.
PAN-Aadhaar will have to be given even if you open a current account or cash credit account with a banking company, co-operative bank or post office.
If someone opens a current account, then PAN card will be mandatory for that too.
– If someone’s bank account is already linked with PAN, then he will still have to link PAN-Aadhaar for transactions.
