How To Link PAN Card With Aadhaar
10 July 2024
Aadhaar and PAN are important documents. One serves as identity proof, while the other is used to track the inflow and outflow of your money
In June 2023, the government made it mandatory to link the two documents to make it easier to track financial transactions of an individual
Those who failed to do so, their PAN card was made inoperative. After several reminders and extensions, the last date was fixed as May 31, 2024
If you haven't linked your PAN cards with Aadhaar, you won't be able to get your income tax return processed. It is a mandatory requirement
To link the two documents now, individuals need to pay a penalty at income tax e-filing portal through net banking, debit card and NEFT/RTGS
After making the payment, proceed to link your PAN with Aadhaar card immediately
Visit the e-filing portal of the income tax department, and click on 'Link Aadhaar' under Quick Links option
Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number and click the 'Validate' button
You will need to enter your name as per the Aadhaar card and mobile number, which will receive the OTP
After filling the OTP, the request for PAN Aadhaar linking will be sent to the UIDAI for validation
