How to Check Aadhaar is Linked with PAN

Checking whether your Aadhaar is linked with PAN is easy and fast—benefit: avoid your PAN becoming inactive.

Quick Steps to Check

Here’s a quick tip list:

• Go to the official e‑Filing portal and click “Link Aadhaar Status”.
   
• Enter your 12‑digit Aadhaar number and 10‑digit PAN number.
   
• Click “View Link Aadhaar Status”.
   
• You’ll see one of the messages:
   
  • “Your PAN is already linked to given Aadhaar.” → Good to go.
     
  • “PAN not linked with Aadhaar. Please click on ‘Link Aadhaar’.” → Need to link.
     
  • “Your Aadhaar‑PAN linking request is sent to UIDAI for validation.” → Wait a few days.
     

Example Screen Message

Here’s an example: you punch in your details and you see: “Your PAN is already linked to given Aadhaar” in green. That means you’re done. If it says “Link Aadhaar” in red, you’ll need to complete the linking.

Why This Matters

If your PAN isn’t linked by the deadline you might not be able to file tax or use it for important money matters. Quick fix now saves trouble later.

What If It’s Not Linked?

Go back to the “Link Aadhaar” section, enter details, validate via OTP, and submit. Make sure your name and date of birth match on both documents—mismatch causes failure.
