How do I check aadhar pan card link status online today?

Visit the Income Tax e-filing portal and use the PAN–Aadhaar status tool. Enter PAN, Aadhaar, and the captcha to see if it is linked, not linked, or inoperative. If not linked, start the linking flow on the same site, pay the fee if shown, and save the acknowledgement.

What happens if I miss the December 31, 2025 deadline?

From January 1, 2026, your PAN becomes inoperative until you link it. This can block high value transactions, demat or mutual fund KYC, dividend credits, and filing or processing of income tax returns. Link PAN with Aadhaar and recheck status to restore normal service.

Who is exempt from the Rs 1,000 late fee?

Some new PAN holders are exempt from the late fee. The e-filing system will show whether a fee is payable for your case before you proceed. Always rely on the official prompt on the portal and avoid paying any fee that is not displayed for your PAN.

How long does it take after linking for PAN to become operative?

Most cases update within hours, though it can take up to a few days. After completing the process and paying the fee if applicable, keep the acknowledgement and check your aadhar pan card link status again after 24 to 72 hours. If still pending, review for data mismatches.
