If you do not fall under exempted category, it is mandatory to link Aadhar with Pan before 31st March.

To check whether your Aadhaar is linked with PAN, go to the website of the Income Tax Department or click on the direct link provided in the Quick Link section. Enter your 10-digit PAN number and 12-digit Aadhaar number and click on View Aadhaar Link Status. If your Aadhaar is linked, there's nothing more you need to do. If not, you will have to link it.

If your PAN is not linked with Aadhaar, you will not be able to file your income tax return, and neither can you use your PAN card or get another PAN card made. Many financial transactions require a PAN card, and without it, they cannot be completed.
