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: 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.
