The PAN card and Aadhaar card can be linked easily through the official Income Tax e-filing portal.
- Visit the e-filing portal and click on 'Link Aadhaar' under the Quick Links section.
- Enter your PAN and Aadhaar numbers, and then click 'Validate'.
- If applicable, you will be prompted to pay the required fee (currently ₹1,000 for delayed linking) through the e-Pay Tax service.
- After payment, or immediately if no fee is required, provide your name as per Aadhaar and the Aadhaar-linked mobile number for OTP verification to complete the process.
Ensure that the details like name and date of birth match exactly on both your PAN and Aadhaar card before initiating the link.
