As per the I-T Act, it is mandatory for all PAN-holders who do not fall under the exempt category, to link their permanent account numbers (PAN) with Aadhaar before March 31, 2023.

However, in the past, Nader has been critical of Tesla's safety record and has called for greater oversight of the company. In 2018, Nader wrote an open letter to Musk urging him to prioritize safety and ethical considerations in Tesla's operations. Nader has also criticized Musk for his aggressive business practices and for being too focused on self-promotion. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that Nader's opinion on Musk may have changed over time and that he may have different views on different aspects of Musk's work and businesses.
