deadline for Aadhaar-Pan link to tax filing to ITR verification 2022

With the start of a new year comes a fresh set of financial responsibilities. Every year, there are a number of dates that must be met in order to avoid being penalised by authorities.

Every individual has financial commitments in the form of tax commitments or official requirements that must be met each year. As the year 2022 starts, here are 5 important deadlines that you must consider in order to avoid any kind of action. Also, it is advisable to review any financial changes that have been implemented or will be implemented in the near future.

Life insurance certificate submission

February 28
In order to continue receiving government pension benefits, government pensioners must provide proof of life or a life certificate every year. The deadline for submitting a life certificate has been extended to February 28 from December 31.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in many states and the vulnerability of the elderly population to Corona Virus, the deadline for submitting Life Certificates for all age groups of pensioners has been extended from December 31, 2021. All Central Government pensioners can now submit a Life Certificate until February 28, 2022. According to an official statement from the Department of Pension and Pensioners’ Welfare pension will continue to be paid by the Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) uninterrupted over this extended period.

All government pensioners must submit a life certificate, or Jeevan Praman Patra, by February 28. The pension will be paid in full by the Pension Disbursing Authorities (PDAs) for this extended term.

ITR verification

February 31
The deadline for filing the Income Tax Return for Assessment Year 2020-21 was December 31, 2021; however, individuals who have failed to finish the e-verification process have been permitted until February 31, 2022, to do so. The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) said on Sunday that it has granted a one-time waiver for the verification of e-filed ITRs that have yet to be verified digitally. The move was made in response to reports of problems with the IRS’s e-filing portal.

For AY2020-21, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has granted a one-time relaxation for verification of e-filed ITRs that are pending for verification due to non-submission of ITR-V form or pending e-Verification,” the board said in a tweet, followed by a circular. By February 28, 2022, such verification must be completed. By June 30, these returns will be processed, and a refund will be issued.

Advance tax payments

March 15
The deadline to pay advance tax for income generated in the fiscal year 2021-22 is March 15, 2022. If your income tax liability exceeds Rs 5,000 net of Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) in a given financial year, you must pay advance tax under the Income Tax Act.

Salaried people with no other source of income do not need to be concerned about this deadline because their employers already deduct TDS on their behalf. Salaried professionals, on the other hand, are obliged to pay advance tax if their total income from other sources, such as rent from a property, capital gain, or interest from a bank deposit, exceeds Rs 10,000 per year and is not declared to their employers.

For example, if you are a salaried professional who has received dividend income or made substantial capital gains by selling shares, then you need to take care of this deadline.

Life certificate submission

Claim deduction for TDS for FY22

March 31
If you’ve chosen the old tax system for the fiscal year 2021-2022, make sure to finish your tax preparation by March 31, 2022. To claim the income tax deductions provided by the government under Section 80C, 80CCD(1B), all taxpayers must invest a portion of their profits.

Link Aadhaar-PAN

March 31
In light of the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the government has extended the deadline for linking an Aadhaar number with PAN to March 31, 2022. The government has included an amendment in the Finance Bill, 2021, passed by the Lok Sabha recently, under which a person will be liable to pay a late fee of up to Rs 1,000 if their PAN is not linked to their Aadhaar number.

The Centre has appointed Lieutenant General Dhiraj Seth as the next Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), paving the way for a leadership transition in the Indian Army later this month. Lt Gen Seth, who currently serves as the Vice Chief of the Army Staff, will succeed General Upendra Dwivedi upon the latter’s retirement on June 30, 2026.

The appointment was announced on Saturday, with the government confirming that Lt Gen Seth will assume office from the afternoon of June 30. He will take over command after General Dwivedi completes his tenure as the Army’s 30th chief.

Veteran Armoured Corps officer

An officer of the Armoured Corps, Lt Gen Seth was commissioned into the Indian Army in December 1986 after graduating from the National Defence Academy. Over nearly four decades of service, he has held a range of operational, command, staff and strategic appointments across the Army.

Lt Gen Seth’s elevation comes as the Army prepares for a change of command at the highest level. His appointment follows his move to Army Headquarters as Vice Chief earlier this year, a role he assumed on April 1.

The Ministry of Defence said the incoming Army chief brings extensive experience from command, operational and strategic assignments across diverse military domains.

An Indian Air Force (IAF) AN-32 transport aircraft crashed while attempting to land at Jorhat Air Force Station in Assam on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of five Air Force personnel. The accident occurred during a routine sortie and triggered an emergency response at the airbase.

According to the IAF, the aircraft met with the accident during the landing phase at Jorhat. The force later confirmed the loss of five personnel and expressed condolences to their families. A court of inquiry has been ordered to determine the circumstances that led to the crash.

Court of inquiry ordered

The Indian Air Force said a formal investigation will examine the cause of the accident. Officials have not yet disclosed what may have led to the crash, and the inquiry is expected to review technical, operational and environmental factors.

Reports indicated that the co-pilot survived the accident and is undergoing medical treatment.

Personnel who lost their lives

The IAF identified the five personnel killed in the accident as:

  • Squadron Leader Prashant Singh
  • Flight Lieutenant Shubham Kumar
  • Sergeant Jitendra Sharma
  • Agniveervayu Khemaram Kumawat
  • Agniveervayu Danish Alam

The Air Force said it stands with the bereaved families during this difficult time.

AN-32’s role in the Air Force

The AN-32 is a twin-engine transport aircraft that has been a key part of the Indian Air Force’s logistics operations for decades. It is widely used to transport personnel, equipment and supplies, particularly in remote and high-altitude regions. India remains one of the largest operators of the aircraft type.

The crash comes months after a Sukhoi Su-30MKI fighter aircraft accident in Assam that claimed the lives of two IAF pilots.

Delhi weather today

Delhi witnessed its coolest day of June so far after widespread rain and thunderstorm activity caused temperatures to drop significantly across the national capital. The change in weather provided much-needed relief from the intense summer heat that had gripped the region in recent weeks.

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), rain and thunderstorms over the past 24 hours brought a noticeable decline in both maximum and minimum temperatures. Official weather observations showed that Delhi’s maximum temperatures fell well below normal levels, while several areas experienced strong winds and rainfall.

More rain and thunderstorms likely

The IMD has forecast additional thunderstorms, light to moderate rain and gusty winds for Delhi and nearby areas through Saturday. A yellow alert remains in place, with weather conditions expected to stay unsettled before gradually improving.

Weather experts have attributed the recent change to the influence of a western disturbance and associated weather systems affecting northwestern India. While the disturbance is gradually moving away, its impact is expected to continue for a short period.

Temperatures may rise again next week

Meteorologists expect the pleasant conditions to last for another couple of days. After that, temperatures are likely to begin rising again as rainfall activity decreases. The IMD’s latest forecast also indicates a gradual increase in temperatures by the middle of next week.

Recent weather systems have brought relief not only to Delhi but also to parts of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other northern states, where thunderstorms and rain have helped ease heatwave conditions.
