How To Link Your Aadhaar Number With PAN

Here's a step-by-step guide to link your Aadhaar Number with your PAN through the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal:

Click on the "Link Aadhaar" option on the e-filing website - www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in.

On the next page, enter your Permanent Account Number, your Aadhaar Number and full name (as given on Aadhaar) in the designated fields, among other details.

Select relevant options and click on the "Link Aadhaar" button at the bottom of the page.  

If you have already submitted a request to link the two IDs, you can even check the status of your request. Here is the direct link. 

Last year, the Supreme Court declared the Centre's flagship Aadhaar scheme as constitutionally valid and held that the biometric ID would remain mandatory for the filing of income tax returns (ITRs) as well as the allotment of PAN.
