PAN Holders Face Year-End Deadline to Keep Accounts and Tax Access Active
PAN holders must link Aadhaar by December 31, 2025, or risk losing access to tax filings, banking services, and investment transactions from 2026.
With the end of 2025 approaching, PAN holders in India face a crucial compliance requirement that could impact everyday financial activities. Individuals who have not linked their PAN with Aadhaar must complete the process by December 31, 2025, failing which their PAN may become inoperative from January 1, 2026. An inoperative PAN cannot be used for filing income tax returns, opening or operating bank accounts, making investments, or conducting high-value transactions.
