PAN-Aadhaar deadline is days away: India warns of inoperative tax IDs and a 1,000-rupee fee

PAN-Aadhaar deadline is days away: India warns of inoperative tax IDs and a 1,000-rupee fee

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:58 ET India’s income tax rules give a group of taxpayers until Dec. 31 to link their Permanent Account Number (PAN) to Aadhaar, the national identity system, under a government notification. Income Tax India+1 The year-end deadline matters because PAN is required for filing income tax returns and is widely used across banking and investing for identity checks. Taxpayers who miss the requirement risk losing access to routine tax and financial services tied to PAN.

India’s taxman puts refunds on hold in year-end compliance push as Dec. 31 cutoff nears

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 01:00 ET India’s Income Tax Department has told thousands of taxpayers their refund claims have been put on hold under a “risk management” process, triggering anxiety and a rush for advice at the end of the year, Indian media reported. India Today+1 The timing matters because Dec. 31 is the last day to file a belated return — a late original filing — or to revise a previously filed income-tax return (ITR) for the 2025-26 assessment year, according to government guidance and the tax department’s calendar.

Target stock jumps on activist stake report as investors eye next steps

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:41 ET — Market closed Target Corp shares last closed up 3.1% at $99.55, after the Financial Times reported activist investor Toms Capital Investment Management had taken a significant stake in the retailer.

Analog Devices stock drifts into year-end as Fed minutes loom

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:40 ET — Market closed Analog Devices shares closed down 0.3% at $276.84 in the most recent session, as investors headed into a holiday-shortened week with the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes due Tuesday. Barron’s The stock’s positioning matters now because year-end trading volumes are typically thin, and macro headlines can move rate expectations quickly.

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:26 ET — Market closed.

Its U.S.-listed shares last closed up 6.2% on Friday at $20.78. CnEVPost+1 The update matters now because range-extended models are one of the clearest growth pockets in China’s crowded car market.

Zeta Global’s 8% jump puts the $20 level in focus as options activity spikes

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 12:16 ET — Market closed Zeta Global Holdings Corp shares last ended Friday up 8.3% at $20.70, marking a sharp move above the $20 threshold as markets head into the final sessions of the year. The jump matters now because late-December trading can magnify technical moves, with fewer investors active and derivatives positioning sometimes driving stock swings more than fresh company news. Trefis+1 That dynamic can cut both ways: when an options-driven move fades, the stock can give back gains quickly once hedges are unwound and liquidity normalizes.

Tesla stock slips into year-end week as robotaxi scrutiny builds

NEW YORK, December 29, 2025, 00:16 ET — Market closed Tesla shares closed down 2.1% on Friday at $475.19, after touching a session low of $473.82, according to market data. Yahoo Finance The move matters because Tesla’s valuation increasingly hinges on its autonomy ambitions, and the regulatory bar for driverless operations is moving in real time. A tightening rulebook can slow deployments and raise compliance costs for companies selling the “self-driving” story. Reuters Over the weekend, a Reuters report on Alphabet’s (GOOGL.O) Waymo highlighted how a San Francisco power outage this month left robotaxis stalled at intersections when traffic lights
