How to choose a branch of engineering ? Is an IIT seat a sure route to riches ?

This will also lead to an individual’s KYC being incomplete as a PAN card is one of the necessary documents required for the completion of KYC. This will, in turn, impact one's bank account savings. Additionally, if the individual earns interest on savings above Rs 10,000, then the tax deducted at source (TDS) rate levied will be 20 percent as TDS levied on a bank account without a PAN card is doubled. How to activate an inoperative PAN? If someone fails to link their Aadhaar and PAN by June 30, 2023, and wishes to link it at a later date, they can do so after payment of the penalty.
