PAN application rules tightening from April 1, 2026. India's tax authority is implementing significant changes to Permanent Account Number card applications. Starting next April, applicants will no longer be able to use Aadhaar alone. Additional supporting documents including birth certificates, voter IDs, passports, driving licenses, and matriculation certificates will become mandatory. The PAN name must now match Aadhaar records exactly, requiring citizens to verify their Aadhaar details beforehand. New application forms will replace existing ones. Tax authorities are urging citizens to complete PAN formalities before March 31 to avoid the burden of submitting multiple documents. This marks the last opportunity for simplified Aadhaar-based applications, making it critical for taxpayers to act quickly.
