Aadhaar–PAN linking is mandatory for ITR filing FY 2024-25: Here's how to do it online
Mandatory Aadhaar–PAN linking online 2025: The Central Board of Direct Taxes is expected to implement Aadhaar authentication and make it necessary for applying for a new Permanent Account Number (PAN) card starting this year, on July 1.
Users who apply for a new PAN Card after July 1, 2025, are required to have an Aadhaar card for verifying their PAN Card application. This shift towards Aadhaar-based verification corresponds with the digitisation and effort to promote accountability and compliance in tax filing.
The CBDT announced in early April this year that anyone who received their PAN on or before October 1, 2024, using Aadhaar enrolment ID, will be able to link it till the last date – December 31, 2025; otherwise, any unlinked PAN cards will be unable to function.
Under the Income Tax Act, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has mandated that all individuals assigned a PAN as of July 1, 2017, must link their Aadhaar with their PAN. This linkage is necessary to file Income Tax Returns (ITRs), and failure to comply may result in the rejection of the ITR.
One can link their Aadhaar number to their PAN online by heading to the Income Tax e-filing official website: https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/
Step 1: Visit the Income Tax e-filing portal. Under the quick links, select the 'Link Aadhaar' option.
Step 2: Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number, then click the 'Validate' button.
Step 3: Enter your name from your Aadhaar card and cellphone number, then click the 'Link Aadhaar' option.
Step 4: Enter the OTP sent to your cellphone number and click the 'Validate' button.
Step 5: The PAN Aadhaar linkage request will be forwarded to the UIDAI for validation.
Step 6: After verifying your PAN and Aadhaar, you will get the following message: 'Payment details not found'.
Step 7: Click the 'Continue to Pay Through e-Pay Tax' option to pay the money, which is required to submit the Aadhaar PAN link request.
Step 8: To finalise the request for connecting PAN and Aadhaar, you must submit a payment using e-Pay Tax.
Step 9: Once the penalty is paid, it will take 4-5 days to process. Then you may submit a request for linkage. However, payment normally reflects within 30 minutes to an hour, allowing for connection requests.

Odisha to suspend ration cards of 20.58 lakh people for not doing e-KYC verification: Minister
The Odisha government will suspend ration cards of nearly 20.58 lakh people for not doing e-KYC verification, a Minister said here on Monday (June 30, 2025). Speaking to media persons, Food Supplies and Consumer Welfare Minister Krushna Chandra Patra said the last day for e-KYC (know your customer) verification was Monday (June 30, 2025). The e-KYC verification drive was started across the state in August 2024 to remove ineligible and dead beneficiaries from the national and state food security schemes. The deadline was extended multiple times. "We are planning to suspend the ration cards of 20.58 lakh beneficiaries, who have not completed their e-KYC verification till the last date. We will give them a window period of three months," Mr. Patra said. During the next three months, their rice quota will not be issued so that all genuine beneficiaries will come to the fair price stores for their quota of rice, he said. "Whenever they will visit the PDS store, we will conduct their e-KYC verification and renew their ration cards," the Minister said. He further said that the government will deactivate the ration cards of the beneficiaries, who will not turn out at the PDS stores during the period. As per available data, a total of 3.25 crore people in the state are beneficiaries under the National Food Security Act (NFSA), while another 6.48 lakh people have been covered under the State Food Security Scheme (SFSS). On paddy procurement, Mr. Patra said the government has procured 19 lakh metric tonnes of paddy during this Rabi crop season while 12 lakh MT of paddy were procured during the last Rabi season. Still, the government will procure paddy from farmers, who have taken their paddy to mandis and got tokens, said the Minister while advising such farmers to complete their iris scan. A higher amount of paddy was procured during this year because the state government has started providing ₹3,100 per quintal of paddy to the registered farmers. Earlier, many farmers were selling their paddy to traders of other states, he said.
