Check the current rule before acting

This article discusses Aadhaar. Fees, eligibility rules, deadlines, limits, required documents, and online procedures can change. Treat any dated amount or deadline in an older example as historical unless it matches the current official notice.

For financial or identity-related actions, do not rely only on a blog post. Verify the current requirement on the responsible government, regulator, bank, insurer, or official service portal before submitting documents or making a payment.

Official source for current rules: Aadhaar.

Here is a reworked version of the process to link PAN to Aadhaar:

Link PAN with Aadhaar as follows:

Visit the income tax portal at https://incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/ and open an account if you have not already done so. PAN (Permanent Account Number) acts as a user identifier.

Sign in to your account using your username, password, and date of birth.

A popup will appear asking you to link your PAN with your Aadhaar. If it is not displayed, go to Profile
Settings in the menu bar and select Link Aadhaar.

The system automatically fills in details like name, date of birth, and gender based on your PAN details.

Carefully check the PAN details displayed on the screen with your Aadhaar device details.

If there are mistakes, be sure to rectify them in both documents.

If the details match, fill in your Aadhaar number and press the “Link Now” button.

After successful linking, a pop-up window will confirm that Aadhaar has been successfully linked to your PAN account.

Alternatively, you can link PAN and Aadhaar by visiting one of the following websites: https://www.utiitsl.com/ OR https://www.egov-nsdl.co.in/.

Current PAN–Aadhaar linking steps

The Income Tax Department still provides the Link Aadhaar service on the e-Filing portal. Existing PAN holders who are required to link should first check their status, because a PAN may already be linked or may be inoperative. The department’s current guidance says the process can involve payment of the prescribed late-linking fee before the link request is submitted.

1. Open the official Income Tax e-Filing portal and use Link Aadhaar / View Status.
2. Enter the PAN and Aadhaar number and check whether linking is already complete.
3. If payment is required, use the e-Pay Tax flow shown by the portal. Do not pay through an unofficial website or an unknown payment link.
4. Return to the Link Aadhaar service, validate the details, complete the OTP step when requested, and submit the request.
5. Use the status option again to confirm that the request has been accepted.

Names, date of birth, and other identity details should match closely enough for validation. If the portal reports that one Aadhaar is linked to another PAN, or one PAN is linked to another Aadhaar, the Income Tax Department advises contacting the jurisdictional assessing officer for correction.

Common reasons a link request fails

Before retrying, check that the PAN and Aadhaar numbers were entered correctly and that identity details are consistent. If a payment was just made, the portal may need time before the payment can be recognized for the linking request. Use the status function instead of paying again immediately.

Do not use agents or unofficial websites simply because the official portal reports an error. Government rules and fee treatment can change, so the current Income Tax portal and notifications should take priority over screenshots from an older article.
