New Delhi: If you haven’t linked your Permanent Account Number (PAN) with your Aadhaar yet, it’s time to act fast. From January 1, 2026, your PAN card will become invalid if it’s not linked to Aadhaar, according to the Income Tax Department.

This means you won’t be able to use your PAN for any financial activity such as filing income tax returns, opening bank accounts, investing in mutual funds, or even buying property.

What Happens If You Don’t Link It

Once the deadline passes, your PAN will stop working automatically. Any transaction that needs PAN verification, like your salary credit, TDS refund, or share trading, will get stuck. You might also face penalties or delays in financial work.
