PAN-Aadhaar Link: If you haven't linked your PAN and Aadhaar yet, you may face problems with tax returns, banking, and investments after December 31, 2025. Learn how you can link them easily today in a few simple steps.
PAN-Aadhaar Link: The importance of PAN and Aadhaar has increased significantly in all financial transactions these days. Without both, you will face difficulties everywhere, from opening a bank account to the stock market, mutual funds, tax returns, and KYC. Keeping this in mind, the government has made linking PAN and Aadhaar mandatory. If you haven't linked them yet, please note that your PAN will become inactive after December 31, 2025. This means you will not be able to file tax returns, and you will also face problems with banking transactions and investments.
How to link PAN and Aadhaar?
- First, log in to the Income Tax e-filing portal.
- Go to the profile section and select the "Link Aadhaar" option.
- Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number and proceed.
- Pay the prescribed fee (if applicable).
- After payment, your PAN and Aadhaar will be linked.
- To check the linking status, click on "Link Aadhaar Status".
If the details do not match:
- Correct your Aadhaar details on the UIDAI website.
- Or correct your PAN details on the Protean or UTIITSL website.
Why is the government emphasizing this so much?
The government's objective is to make the tax system more transparent and digital. If your PAN becomes inactive, tax refunds may be stopped, TDS may be deducted at a higher rate, and you may face difficulties in banking and investment activities. This is even more crucial for those investing in the stock market or mutual funds.
