How to check PAN-card linked with Aadhaar-card

Linking your PAN (Permanent Account Number) with your Aadhaar card is a simple and straightforward process. It is an important requirement for taxpayers in India as it helps in the verification and authentication of your PAN and Aadhaar details, and helps to prevent fraud and tax evasion. In this article, we will guide you through the steps involved in checking your PAN link with Aadhaar.

Step 1: Visit the Income Tax e-Filing website

The first step to check whether your PAN is linked with Aadhaar is to visit the Income Tax e-Filing website. You can access the website at https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/. Once you are on the website, you will see the option to log in or register. If you have not registered on the website yet, you will need to do so by clicking on the "Register Yourself" button.

Step 2: Log in to your account

If you have already registered on the Income Tax e-Filing website, you can log in using your PAN as your user ID and the password you created during the registration process. Once you are logged in, you will be redirected to the homepage of the website.

Step 3: Go to the Profile Settings section

Once you are on the homepage, you will see a menu bar at the top of the page. Click on the "Profile Settings" option from the menu bar. This will take you to the Profile Settings page.

Step 4: Click on the Aadhaar linking option

On the Profile Settings page, you will see an option called "Aadhaar linking". Click on this option to proceed.

Step 5: Check the status of your Aadhaar linking

Once you click on the Aadhaar linking option, you will be taken to a page where you can check the status of your Aadhaar linking. If your Aadhaar is already linked to your PAN, you will see a message saying "Your Aadhaar number is already linked with your PAN in the Income Tax Department's database."

If your Aadhaar is not linked with your PAN, you will see a message saying "Your PAN is not linked with Aadhaar yet." In this case, you can follow the instructions on the page to link your Aadhaar with your PAN.

Step 6: Link your Aadhaar with PAN (if required)

If your Aadhaar is not linked with your PAN, you can link it by following the instructions on the page. You will need to enter your Aadhaar number, name as per Aadhaar, and your PAN. Once you enter these details, click on the "Link Aadhaar" button.

After you click on the "Link Aadhaar" button, a message will appear on the screen confirming that your Aadhaar has been successfully linked with your PAN. You will also receive a confirmation message on your registered mobile number and email ID.

In conclusion, linking your PAN with Aadhaar is an important requirement for taxpayers in India. It is a simple process that can be done online through the Income Tax e-Filing website. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily check the status of your Aadhaar linking and link your Aadhaar with your PAN if required. It is recommended to ensure that your Aadhaar is linked with your PAN to avoid any inconvenience or penalty in the future.
