Higher TDS
No PAN means TDS is deducted at the higher rate (often 20%).
✗
Inoperative PAN
If PAN is not linked with Aadhaar, it stops working — refunds and filings get blocked.
✗
Penalty for two PANs
Holding more than one PAN attracts a penalty of ₹10,000 (Sec 272B).
✗
Transactions blocked
Banks and registrars refuse high-value transactions without a valid PAN.
