PAN-Aadhaar Link Deadline Over: What Taxpayers Must Do Now

• No official extension for PAN-Aadhaar linking beyond December 31, 2025, despite past speculations.
• Unlinked PANs will become 'inoperative' from January 1, 2026, severely restricting financial activities.
• An inoperative PAN prevents ITR filing, claiming refunds, opening bank accounts, and high-value transactions.
• Linking is still possible after the deadline but incurs a prescribed late fee, and PAN remains inoperative until reactivated.
• Taxpayers who missed the deadline should link their PAN and Aadhaar immediately to avoid continued restrictions and penalties.

Why It Matters: Missed PAN-Aadhaar link deadline? Link now with a fee to reactivate your PAN and avoid financial restrictions.
