PAN-Aadhaar Link: The year is almost over, and only two months are left. You must link your PAN card and Aadhaar card within this time. Otherwise, you will face big problems. The UIDAI has set the final deadline. Those who have not linked their PAN and Aadhaar must do it by December 31.
If you don’t link your PAN and Aadhaar this time, you will face trouble. From January 1, 2026, your PAN card will stop working. You will not be able to file income tax returns or use your PAN card for any financial work.
Wherever a PAN card is needed as a valid document, you cannot use it. So, link your PAN and Aadhaar now to avoid problems.
Government’s Step to Stop Fraud and Tax Evasion
The government has taken this step to stop fraud and tax evasion. So, those who have not yet linked their Aadhaar and PAN should do it as soon as possible. You can easily complete this process by visiting www.incometax.gov.in or uidai.gov.in.
