PAN Will Be Inoperative Soon, If Not Linked With Aadhaar

If you haven't linked your PAN with Aadhaar card yet, do it now by paying a ₹1,000 fine, or your PAN will become inoperative from January 1, 2026. The Central government has made PAN-Aadhaar linking mandatory, and failure to comply will lead to strict restrictions on financial transactions and services tied to your PAN card.
