Carelessness will be costly, these deadlines related to income tax and bank are ending today, know the complete checklist.

News India Live, Digital Desk: If you are sitting at home in the bitter cold of December thinking that “this work will be done later”, then you may be wrong. The deadline of many schemes of Income Tax Department and Post Office is ending today i.e. on 31st December 2025. Here we are talking about those main tasks where a small mistake can cost you thousands.

1. Last day of revised and billed ITR

If you did not file this year’s Income Tax Return (ITR) on time or there was a mistake in the previous return, then today is the last day to correct it. If you miss the 12 o’clock deadline tonight, you will not be able to correct or file your old return from tomorrow. Apart from this, heavy penalty will have to be borne separately. If you have left your tax return incomplete, get it e-verified immediately.

2. PAN-Aadhaar Linking and Small Savings Scheme

The worst hit may be those whose small savings schemes (like PPF, Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana or Senior Citizen Savings Scheme) are not yet linked to Aadhaar. If you do not update your Aadhaar in these schemes today, it is possible that your investment may be ‘frozen’ from tomorrow. That means you will neither be able to take interest nor be able to withdraw your money.

3. Free update of Aadhaar card

For those who had created their Aadhaar 10 years ago and have not yet updated it, the government had provided the facility of ‘free update’. Its deadline too, after being extended several times, is now at its end. After this you will have to go to the Aadhaar center and clear your pocket. So why not get it checked online or at your nearest center today.

4. Bank Locker Agreement and other updates

If you have a bank locker and the bank has called you to sign a new agreement, then its deadline may also be today. Many KYC update and nomination dates of banks are also limited to December 31. No need to go to the bank, most of the transactions can be checked through their mobile app.

What if these things are not done today?

Just imagine, on the first morning of the new year you get a message from the bank that your account has become ‘inoperative’. Or a penalty notice comes from Income Tax. Just take out half an hour today to check your digital files. Linking of PAN and Aadhaar is not just a paper, it is the key to your financial security.
