PAN may turn inactive if not linked with Aadhaar by December 31

The deadline to link Permanent Account Number (PAN) with Aadhaar is December 31, and failure to do so may result in the PAN becoming inactive after this date.

Taxpayers who have not completed the linking process are advised to act promptly to avoid



financial and compliance-related difficulties.

According to a notification issued by the Income Tax Department on April 3, 2025, individuals who were allotted a PAN on or after October 1, 2024, are required to link their PAN with Aadhaar by December 31, 2025.
