how to link pan card with aadhar

To link your PAN card with Aadhaar, you can use the official Income Tax e-filing portal or the SMS service. This linkage is a mandatory compliance requirement for most resident individuals in India.

• The most common method is the Income Tax e-filing portal (incometax.gov.in). Use the 'Link Aadhaar' quick link, enter your PAN and Aadhaar number, and complete the OTP verification.
• Alternatively, you can link via SMS by sending UIDPAN \[12-digit Aadhaar\] \[10-digit PAN\] to 567678 or 56161 from your Aadhaar-registered mobile number.
• If you missed the official deadline, a late fee of ₹1,000 must be paid through the e-Pay Tax service on the portal before submitting your linking request.
