No need to login or be registered on the E-filing website
for linking
The Income Tax (IT) Department has made it easy for
taxpayers to link their PAN with Aadhaar. Responding to grievances of taxpayers
regarding difficulties in linking PAN with Aadhaar as their names did not match
in both systems (e.g., names with initials in one and expanded initials in another),
the IT Department has come out with a simple solution now.
Taxpayers can go to http://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in
and click on the link on the Left Pane à Link Aadhaar, provide PAN, Aadhaar
number and ENTER NAME EXACTLY AS GIVEN IN AADHAAR CARD (avoid spelling
mistakes) and Submit. After verification from UIDAI, the linking will be
confirmed.

Figure 2: Linking Aadhar with PAN simplified
In
case of any minor mismatch in Aadhaar name provided by taxpayer when compared
to the actual data in Aadhaar, a One Time Password (Aadhaar OTP) will be sent
to the mobile registered with Aadhaar. Taxpayers should ensure that the date of
birth and gender in PAN and Aadhaar are exactly same. In a rare case where
Aadhaar name is completely different from name in PAN, then the linking will
fail and taxpayer will be prompted to change the name in either Aadhaar or in
PAN database.
There
is no need to login or be registered on E-filing website. This facility can be
used by anyone to link their Aadhaar with PAN.
This
facility is also available after login on the e-filing website under Profile
settings and choose Aadhaar linking. The details as per PAN will be
pre-populated. Enter Aadhaar number and ENTER NAME EXACTLY AS GIVEN IN AADHAAR
CARD (avoid spelling mistakes) and Submit.
Taxpayers
are requested to use the simplified process to complete the linking of Aadhaar
with PAN immediately. This will be useful for E-Verification of Income Tax
returns using OTP sent to their mobile registered with Aadhaar.
