how to link aadhar card and pan card

To link your Aadhaar card with your PAN card, you have two primary methods, both requiring a mandatory fee of ₹1,000 for delayed linking. Ensure that your demographic details like name, gender, and date of birth match on both documents before proceeding.

• Online via the Income Tax e-Filing Portal: Use the "Link Aadhaar" option under Quick Links. Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number, pay the required fee through 'e-Pay Tax', and complete the OTP verification.
• Via SMS: Send the message 'UIDPAN <12-digit Aadhaar number> <10-digit PAN number>' to 567678 or 56161 from your Aadhaar-registered mobile.
