बड़ी मुश्किल से बनेगा PAN Card! जारी हुए नए रुल्स- PAN Card 2025 Rules

PAN Card 2025 Rules – From now on, Aadhaar card has become mandatory to get a PAN card. That is, if you do not have an Aadhaar card, then you will not be able to get a new PAN card. Let us understand in simple language what are the new rules, what is necessary to do and what can be the loss if you are negligent.

What is the new rule?

Earlier you could use any identity card and date of birth document such as voter ID, ration card or driving license to get a PAN card. But now this facility has been discontinued. From July 1, 2025, it will be necessary to show Aadhaar card while applying for PAN card. Without this the application will not be accepted.

Alert for old PAN card holders too

If you are thinking that this rule will apply only to those who get new PAN cards, then wait! For those who already have PAN cards, the government has given clear instructions that it is mandatory to link PAN card with Aadhaar.

The government has given time till 31 December 2025 for Aadhaar-PAN linking. If you do not do this work by this date, then your PAN card will be deactivated. That is, it will become invalid and you will not be able to do any financial transaction with it.
