PAN-Aadhaar Link Deadline 2025: Avoid Deactivation & How to Link
Why PAN-Aadhaar Link is Mandatory
The Indian government has made the PAN-Aadhaar link compulsory to streamline tax processes, reduce fraud, and ensure financial transparency. Failing to link your PAN with Aadhaar by December 31, 2025, will result in PAN deactivation, affecting financial transactions, tax filings, and investments.
How to Link PAN with Aadhaar: Step-by-Step
- Visit the Income Tax e-Filing Portal.
- Log in using your PAN as the User ID.
- Click ‘Link Aadhaar’ under ‘Profile Settings’.
- Verify PAN and Aadhaar details.
- Submit to receive a confirmation SMS/email.
Consequences of Not Linking PAN & Aadhaar
As per the Income Tax Department’s 2025 update, unlinked PANs will become inactive. This will lead to:
- Inability to file IT returns or claim refunds.
- Higher TDS/TCS deductions on transactions.
- Rejection of loan or credit card applications.
Recent Aadhaar Rule Updates
From November 1, 2025, UIDAI revised fees for updating Aadhaar details:
- ₹50 for demographic updates (name, DOB, gender).
- ₹100 for biometric updates (fingerprints, iris scan).
Ensure your Aadhaar details match PAN records to avoid discrepancies.
