how to link aadhar and pan card online

You can link your Aadhaar and PAN online primarily through the Income Tax e-filing portal or via SMS.

• Visit the official Income Tax e-filing portal and click on 'Link Aadhaar' under Quick Links.
• Enter your PAN and 12-digit Aadhaar number, then click Validate. Note that a penalty may apply for delayed linking.
• Complete the required payment (if any), then enter your name as per Aadhaar and your Aadhaar-linked mobile number to receive the OTP for final validation.
• Alternatively, you can send an SMS with the format: UIDPAN \[12-digit Aadhaar\] \[10-digit PAN\] to 567678 or 56161.
