The Government of India has mandated to link PAN & Aadhaar.  The Department of Revenue had issued notification dated 1st July 2017 regarding this new implementation. The earlier timeline was 31st March 2023 but looking at the lower number of citizens who could complete this PAN & Aadhaar linking exercise, it was further extended till 30th June 2023. Now you will have to adhere to the 30th June time line, as the Income Tax department has no indication for further extension.

However, if you fall under any of the below categories, then you are exempted from Aadhaar-PAN linking
(1) NRIs
(2) Not a citizen of India
(3) age above 80 years
(iv) residence of ASSAM, MEGHALAYA,  JAMMU & KASHMIR state
