CBDT Mandate: PAN to Go Inactive from Jan 1, 2026 If Not Linked with Aadhaar
The Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has made it compulsory for everyone to link their PAN with their Aadhaar. If you don’t do this before the deadline, your PAN will become inactive, and you won’t be able to use it for any financial or official work.
The government has scheduled December 31, 2025, as the last date to link PAN with Aadhaar. PAN cards not linked by the deadline will be deactivated from January 1, 2026.
The new process now requires people applying for a new PAN card to verify their identity using their Aadhaar. This helps make sure that a person’s details are the same in both their PAN and Aadhaar records.
If you lose your PAN card, it may attract trouble with the authorities. Other than this, you may face many problems:
You can easily link your PAN with Aadhaar by following the below-mentioned step:
Step 1: Go to the Income Tax e-filing portal.
Step 2: Click on the ‘Link Aadhaar’ tab on the left panel.
Step 3: Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number and select the ‘validate‘ button.
Step 4: This will finish the procedure to link your PAN to your Aadhaar number.
