Link Your PAN With This Document or Risk It Being Blocked News24 –
Starting from the first day of November, Aadhaar users will be able to update key details such as their name, address, date of birth, and mobile number entirely without visiting the enrollment centre. The UIDAI’s new system will automatically verify user information by linking it with government databases like PAN, passport, driving license, ration card, and birth certificates.
The new change streamlines the process of updating your Aadhaar card, making updates faster and more secure for millions of users across the nation.
The fee for updation at enrolment centres will also change. Aadhaar-PAN linking is now mandatory, and all existing PAN holders must link their Aadhaar by December 31, 2025; otherwise, their PAN will become inactive from January 1, 2026.
For new PAN applicants, Aadhaar authentication is now compulsory. In addition, KYC norms have been simplified – banks and financial institutions can now complete customer verification through Aadhaar OTP, Video KYC, or in-person verification, making the process faster, paperless, and more secure for everyone.
