PAN To Be Inoperative From 2026 If Not Linked With Aadhaar

The Central govt has made it mandatory to link PAN with Aadhaar by January 1, 2026. Failing to do so will render your PAN inoperative, affecting financial transactions and related services. Individuals can still link them by paying a ₹1,000 penalty. Authorities urge timely compliance to avoid disruptions in banking and tax-related activities.
