Government fee
₹1000 — Late Aadhaar–PAN linking fee
What happens afterward
Check 'Link Aadhaar Status' on the e-Filing portal. Reactivating an already-inoperative PAN reportedly takes about 30 days after linking, though we haven't independently confirmed that exact timeframe on a primary source yet.
Common mistakes
- The general linking deadline (31 Dec 2025) has passed — every unlinked PAN became inoperative from 1 Jan 2026, so linking now is a paid, late process, not free.
