HOW TO LINK AADHAAR CARD WITH PAN CARD

The Government of India has made the linking of Aadhaar card mandatory with the PAN card. The government has extended the deadline for linking Aadhaar-PAN from 31st August 2017 to 31st December 2017. Linking Aadhaar-PAN is also mandatory for filing Income Return for the Assessment year 2017-18. If the linking is not done, then the return filed will be considered invalid and the person will have to fill a return again which be a belated return.

I have seen people spending ₹20 - ₹50 in getting their PAN linked to Aadhaar. So, why should we waste money on those thing which can be done by ourselve without spending a rupee and it also don't require much time. It's a simple process and everyone can do it on their own.

I will explain you how you can link your Aadhaar in 3 simple steps.

STEP 1 : Go to Income Tax Website

Go to Income Tax Website www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in and click on the option "Link Aadhaar" in the left hand hand side of the page. 

STEP 2 : Provide details that are asked

As you will click on "Link Aadhaar" option a page will open asking you the following details :

(i) PAN No.

(ii) Aadhaar No.

(iii) Name as per Aadhaar

(iv) I have only year of birth in Aadhaar Card (Select this option if you have only birth year in your Aadhaar card, otherwise leave this option blank)

(v) Captcha Code (A six letter Alpha-Numeric code will be given there, you just have to see it and type as it is)

STEP 3 : Link Aadhaar

After you have filled in the above details, check the details once as a single mistake here can put you in trouble. Now, click on "Link Aadhaar" option in the bottom of the page.

You will now see a message on your screen "Aadhaar-PAN linking is completed successfully".

Now, your Aadhaar is linked to your PAN.
