PAN-Aadhaar Linking Deadline Explained: How To Link Before December 31 To Avoid Losing Tax Access

The clock is ticking for millions of Indian taxpayers. The Income Tax Department has issued a final warning - link your PAN with Aadhaar by December 31, 2025, or your PAN will turn inoperative from January 1, 2026. An inactive PAN means no income tax returns, no refunds, and higher TDS on your earnings. As per the latest CBDT notification, anyone who received a PAN using an Aadhaar enrolment ID before October 1, 2024 must now complete the linkage using a permanent Aadhaar number. Failure to do so will freeze your financial identity. This video explains why the deadline matters, what happens if you miss it, and gives a clear step-by-step guide to link PAN with Aadhaar through the Income Tax portal. From paying the mandatory Rs 1,000 fee to OTP verification, every step is broken down in simple terms. Do not wait for the last minute. This is not a formality. This is compliance that protects your money, your refunds, and your future transactions. #pan #aadhaar #panaadhaarlink #incometax #aadhaarpan #itr #panupdate #india #toi #toibharat #bharat #trending #breakingnews #indianews —————————————————————————————————————————— TOI Bharat – Your Window to India And Its Neighbourhood TOI Bharat delivers the latest news, biggest voices, sharpest views and in-depth coverage of India’s political, social and economic landscape.
