If you're currently reading this, it's crucial that you take immediate action. It has come to our attention that a significant number of users are yet to link their PAN with their Aadhaar. The deadline for this has already surpassed, and we sincerely urge you to act promptly.
If you've already linked your PAN with your Aadhaar, great! Please help us update our records by filling out this form.
If you haven't linked your PAN with your Aadhaar yet, you need to do it now! “Why”, you ask?
Because if you don't, you'll have to pay a 20% TDS on all your applicable crypto orders on CoinSwitch, instead of the current 1%. That's a huge difference!
Why is this urgent? Failure to link your PAN with Aadhaar could lead to serious financial repercussions. According to the latest update from the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), non-linkage will result in a substantial increase in TDS – a staggering 20% on your applicable crypto orders on CoinSwitch, in contrast to the current 1%. This isn't something to be taken lightly, and we're here to help you prevent this unfavourable outcome.
The Consequences of Non-Linking: If you miss the linking deadline, the implications are severe:
- Your PAN will be rendered inoperative, causing potential disruptions in your financial transactions.
- Tax refunds will be put on hold by the Income Tax Department, causing unnecessary delays.
- The interest will not be payable on withheld tax refunds, resulting in direct financial losses.
- Tax deductions will be raised to a higher rate of 20% in accordance with Section 206AA.
