PAN-Aadhaar Link Deadline: December 31, 2025! Check Status to Avoid Inactive PAN

• Mandatory PAN-Aadhaar linking by December 31, 2025, for those who created PAN with Aadhaar enrollment ID before October 1, 2024.
• Failure to link will render PAN inactive, causing issues with financial transactions, ITR filing, and refunds.
• Check linking status easily from home via the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal (www.incometax.gov.in).
• Two methods available: 'Link Aadhaar Status' under 'Quick Links' without login, or via 'Dashboard'/'My Profile' after login.
• Enter 10-digit PAN and 12-digit Aadhaar to view status; messages confirm linking, pending requests, or prompt to link.

Why It Matters: Link PAN with Aadhaar by Dec 31, 2025, using the e-filing portal to avoid financial disruptions.
