Linking the two creates a unified database, making it easier for the Income Tax Department to track income, deductions, and refunds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act, 1961, linking is compulsory for most individuals (exceptions include NRIs and those over 80 without Aadhaar). Failure to link can lead to significant hurdles in your financial life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Last_Date_to_Link_Aadhar_and_PAN\"><\/span>Last Date to Link Aadhar and PAN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The last date to link PAN and Aadhaar is December 31, 2025 for those who obtained their PAN using an Aadhaar enrolment ID between October 1, 2024 and December 31, 2025<\/strong>; for most others, <strong>the deadline was May 31, 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Guide_to_Link_PAN_with_Aadhaar\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Guide to Link PAN with Aadhaar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Visit the Income Tax e-filing portal (incometaxindia.gov.in).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on &#8220;Link Aadhaar&#8221; under the Quick Links section.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your PAN, Aadhaar number, name (as per Aadhaar), and mobile number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pay the late fee (if applicable) via net banking or UPI.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit and verify with the OTP sent to your registered mobile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_If_PAN_Is_Not_Linked_to_Aadhaar\"><\/span>What Happens If PAN Is Not Linked to Aadhaar?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As of July 1, 2023, an unlinked PAN becomes &#8220;inoperative,&#8221; as per CBDT rules.
