how to link pan with aadhar

 



Section 139AA of the Income Tax Act provides that every individual who has been allotted a Permanent Account Number (PAN) as on the 1st day of July, 2017, and who is eligible to obtain an Aadhaar number, shall intimate Aadhaar number in the prescribed form and manner. In other words, such persons have to mandatorily link their Aadhaar and PAN before the prescribed date (31.03.2022 without fee payment and 31.03.2023 with prescribed fee payment). For more details refer to CBDT Circular No.7/2022 dated 30.03.2022. To link your Aadhaar card with your PAN card in India, you can follow these steps:

  1. Visit the official Income Tax e-filing website: Go to the Income Tax Department's e-filing website at https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/.


  2. Navigate to the "Link Aadhaar" section: On the website's homepage, you will find a link titled "Link Aadhaar" under the "Quick Links" section. Click on it.


  3. Provide your details: You will be directed to a new page where you need to fill in your PAN, Aadhaar number, and other required details such as name, date of birth, etc. Enter the details correctly and verify them before proceeding.


  4. Verify your Aadhaar details: After entering the necessary details, you will be asked to confirm the Aadhaar details provided by you. Make sure to check that the information matches your Aadhaar card.


  5. Generate OTP: Once you have verified the details, click on the "Generate OTP" button. An OTP (One-Time Password) will be sent to your registered mobile number linked to your Aadhaar card.


  6. Enter OTP and submit: Enter the OTP you received on your registered mobile number and click on the "Link Aadhaar" button to submit the form.


  7. Confirmation message: After successful verification and submission, you will receive a confirmation message stating that your Aadhaar card has been linked with your PAN card.
