Actually, the last date for PAN-Aadhaar linking is March 31, if you are not able to link PAN-Aadhaar by the due date, then you will not be able to make new investments in mutual funds or withdraw your money. This is because it is mandatory to have a PAN card for such an investment instrument.
will not be able to make new investment
If you are investing for the first time in mutual funds or planning to invest in any other scheme for the first time, then your PAN card should be valid. On the other hand, if you are a mutual fund investor but your PAN is invalid, then you will not be able to add additional units to your existing mutual fund investments. To invest in mutual funds, you need to go through two documentation processes. One, you have to comply with the Know Your Customer (KYC) norms and second, you must have a valid PAN. In such a situation, if your PAN becomes invalid due to non-linking of Aadhaar, then you will not be able to invest in mutual funds.
