Aadhaar PAN Linking Process: Important news has arrived regarding your PAN card. UIDAI has clarified that you must link your PAN with Aadhaar by December 31,2025,or your PAN will be deactivated from January 1,2026. This means your PAN card will become inactive. With the PAN card deactivation,filing taxes,important bank transactions,and financial transactions will become difficult.
Also,new rules for Aadhaar updates have come into effect since November. You can now change your name,address,date of birth,and mobile number online. You’ll need to follow a few steps.
How to change your details online?
First of all go to myAadhaar portal.
It will be cross-checked with documents like PAN or passport.
There’s no need to upload many documents or visit a center. However,biometric changes like fingerprints,iris scans,and photos require a visit to an Aadhaar Seva Kendra.
You will have to pay this much charge
Additionally,a fee of Rs 75 will be charged for changing demographic details such as name,address,and date of birth. Biometrics will cost Rs 125,but online document updates are free until June 14,2026. Biometric updates are free for children aged 5 to 7 and 15 to 17. Parents can easily do this.
