No. The employees with inoperative PAN statuses cannot file their tax returns.

According to the Income Tax Act, it is mandatory to link the PAN with the Aadhaar. Failing to do so by the set deadline results in the PAN becoming inoperative. When a PAN is inoperative, TDS is deducted at a rate of 20% or higher.
