2026 important note

2026 me Aadhaar PAN link status check kyu important hai?

📌

Old PAN holders

Existing PAN holders who were allotted PAN on or before 01-07-2017 and are eligible to obtain Aadhaar were required to link Aadhaar with PAN. If not linked, PAN may become inoperative except exempt categories.

🗓️

Special 2025 deadline category

People allotted PAN using Aadhaar Enrolment ID before 01-10-2024 were given a special deadline to intimate actual Aadhaar number by 31-12-2025; failure may make PAN inoperative from 01-01-2026.

🏦

Why users face problems

Inoperative PAN can affect tax filing, refunds, TDS/TCS, bank/KYC, investments and other financial work where valid PAN is required.

Do not guess: “Mujhe lagta hai linked hai” is not enough. Open official status page and check with PAN + Aadhaar before doing ITR, bank KYC, demat, loan, mutual fund or high-value transaction work.
