With the Aadhaar-PAN deadline ending today, taxpayers must quickly check their link status to avoid issues with taxes, refunds, and banking access.
The deadline to link Aadhaar with PAN ends today, December 31, 2025. The government has asked taxpayers to confirm the link before the cut-off to avoid issues with tax and financial services. From tomorrow, an unlinked PAN may become invalid. This can affect filing income tax returns, receiving refunds, and completing banking or investment transactions.
Taxpayers can check their Aadhaar–PAN link status through the Income Tax e-filing website or by sending an SMS. The process does not require much time and helps confirm whether further action is needed.
