How to Link PAN with Aadhaar Card Online: Check Status & Penalty Rules
Ensure Your PAN Card remains Active: Linking Guide
Linking your Permanent Account Number (PAN) with your Aadhaar card is mandatory under Income Tax department regulations. If you fail to link them, your PAN card will become inoperative, restricting you from opening bank accounts, receiving salaries, or filing tax returns. Here is how to complete the process online.
1. Checking Link Status
Before paying any fees, check if your cards are already linked: Visit the Income Tax e-filing portal (incometax.gov.in), select 'Link Aadhaar Status', enter your PAN and Aadhaar numbers, and click 'View Link Aadhaar Status'.
2. How to Link Online (Step-by-Step)
- Go to the e-filing portal home page and click 'Link Aadhaar'.
- Enter your PAN and Aadhaar details.
- Pay the late fee of ₹1,000 via the e-Pay Tax service using Net Banking or UPI.
- Submit the linking request and track the status. The process typically updates within 48 hours.
Ensure that your name, date of birth, and gender match exactly on both cards to avoid rejection. Check out our detailed tutorials for more financial help!
