How do I check if my PAN is linked to my Aadhaar?

To check if your PAN is linked to your Aadhaar, visit the official Income Tax e-filing portal and click on the Link Aadhaar Status option under the Quick Links section. Enter your 10-digit PAN and 12-digit Aadhaar number, then click View Link Aadhaar Status to see your current linking status. Alternatively, you can check via SMS by sending UIDPAN followed by your Aadhaar and PAN numbers to 567678 or 56161. Keeping them linked is mandatory to ensure your PAN remains operative for financial transactions.
