There are many ways one can link their Aadhaar with their PAN card. They can either visit the income e-filing portal or they can use SMS facility to link their PAN card with Aadhaar.

In order to link Aadhaar with PAN using SMS, one has to type UIDPAN<12-digit Aadhaar number><10 digit PAN>, for example, UIDPAN 111122223333 AAAPA9999Q and send it to 567678.

In case a minor mismatch between PAN and Aadhaar, a One Time Password (OTP) is sent to the registered mobile number with Aadhaar. In a case where the name in Aadhaar is completely different from the name in PAN database, the linkage may fail. The PAN card holder is then required to change their name either in Aadhaar or in PAN database or visit personally to a designated PAN application centre of NSDL e-Gov or UTIITSL for biometric Aadhaar authentication.
