The deadline for completing the connecting process is 31 December 2025. According to a circular issued by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) on 3 April, individuals who were assigned a PAN based on the registration ID provided on their Aadhaar application form until 1 October 2024, are required to notify the income tax authorities of their Aadhaar number.  

If the PAN and Aadhaar card are linked after 31 December 2025, there would be a penalty of Rs.1000. This will address circumstances where Aadhaar IDs and PANs exist but are not linked. The possibility of a PAN getting out of service exists for those who have not linked their PAN to Aadhaar.
