how to link pan card and aadhar card

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

• Visit the Income Tax e-filing portal and click on 'Link Aadhaar' in the Quick Links section.
• Enter your PAN and Aadhaar number, then click 'Validate'. Before proceeding with the link request, a mandatory fee of ₹1,000 must be paid via the e-Pay Tax service for delayed linking.
• Alternatively, send an SMS in the format 'UIDPAN \[12-digit Aadhaar\] \[10-digit PAN\]' to 567678 or 56161 from your Aadhaar-registered mobile number.

Ensure your personal details like name and date of birth match exactly across both documents for the linking to be successful.
