If your Aadhaar is not linked then your PAN will be considered inoperative and thus will have an impact on TDS rate at the time of receiving any policy payouts.

If your Aadhaar and PAN are not linked TDS rate on your taxable payout* will be 20% as per Section 206AA of Income Tax Act, 1961 (Effective from July 1, 2021)
