Also, SEBI has required that all the existing investors are advised to ensure linking of their PAN with Aadhaar number prior to Sept 30, 2021 or any other date specified by CBDT for continual and smooth transactions insecurities market and to avoid any consequences of non-compliance of said notification on their transactions in securities market.
