The Income Tax Department has recently issued a new directive for PAN card holders. If you have obtained your PAN using Aadhaar enrollment ID, then you will now have to update it with your original Aadhaar number by 31 December 2025.
This step has been taken after the changes made in Budget 2025. In fact, the provision allowing Aadhaar enrollment ID in place of Aadhaar number (Aadhaar Card News) has been abolished from October 1, 2024. The government issued this update under section 139AA (2A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
What is PAN?
Permanent Account Number (PAN Card News) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric number issued by the Income Tax Department. It is required for filing income tax returns, making high value financial transactions and adding investments. What is Aadhaar? Aadhaar is a 12-digit identification number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
It serves as proof of identity and address and is required to avail government and financial services. What do you have to do? If your PAN was issued using Aadhaar enrollment ID before October 1, 2024, then you will have to submit your original Aadhaar number. Get it updated through the Income Tax Department or an authorized official before the deadline of December 31, 2025. Failure to update may cause problems in tax filing or financial transactions related to your PAN.
