What are the consequences of failure to intimate Aadhar Number. Is there any fee for such default?

Suggested Answer and Working Notes:

If a person, who has been allotted PAN as on 1st July, 2017 and is required to intimate his Aadhaar number, has failed to intimate the same on or before 31st March, 2022, the PAN of such person would become inoperative. A person, whose PAN has become inoperative, would be liable for following further consequences for the period commencing from the date notified by the CBDT till the date it becomes operative (i) no refund of any amount of tax or part thereof, due under the provisions of the Act; (ii) interest would not be payable on such refund for the period, beginning with the date notified by the CBDT and ending with the date on which it becomes operative; (iii) where tax is deductible at source in case of such person, such tax shall be deducted at higher rate, in accordance with provisions of section 206AA; (iv) where tax is collectible at source in case of such person, such tax shall be collected at higher rate, in accordance with provisions of section 206CC: Where a person, who is required to intimate his Aadhar Number under section 139AA (2) , fails to do so on or before the notified date i.e., 31.3.2022, he shall be liable to pay such fee, as may be prescribed, at the time of making intimation under section 139AA (2) after 31.3.2022.
