The Central Government has issued a new warning for the Pan Card user. The government believes that if you have obtained a PAN card with the help of Aadhaar Enrollment ID, then you should replace your Aadhar Card with the number of Origanal Aadhar Card. Otherwise your PAN card can stop working from 31 December 2025. However, it is not for all Aadhaar card users. A notification has been issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes i.e. CBDT, in which the PAN card holder has been instructed to verify from the Aadhaar number by 31 December 2025.
Income tax department will have to give information
According to the notification, all PAN holders will now have to tell their Aadhaar number to the Income Tax Department, all PAN holders who take PAN card from the enrollment ID of applying Aadhaar before 1 October 2024. According to the notification issued on 3 April 2025, all such PAN card holders will have to provide their information by 31 December 2025.
Can be found exemption
Existing process of PAN-Aadhaar linking will be used to link PAN card to Aadhaar number. The PAN card holder will have to complete the PAN-Aadhaar linking process by visiting the e-filing portal of the Income Tax Department.
By the way, the last deadline to link PAN-Aadhaar was 30 June 2023, and now one has to pay a fine on doing so. But those who took PAN from the enrollment ID did not have the Aadhaar number at that time, so such PAN card holders could not do linking in the time limit of 2023. Such a PAN card holder can be exempted from fine.
What will happen if Aadhaar is not given by 31 December 2025?
Taxman.com’s Voice President of Advisory Naveen Badhwa, if the PAN card holders do not link PAN to the Aadhaar number by 31 December 2025, then it is possible that the pan becomes inactive from 1 January 2026, but its Income Tax Department can get complete information. If the government is not linked to PAN and Aadhaar, a penalty of Rs 1000 can be implemented.
