3 Reasons Why Your PAN-Aadhaar Linking Might Fail, Check Details Here

By paying a fine of 1,000 rupees, you can do PAN-Aadhaar linking by June 30, 2023. The income tax department alerts of demographic mismatch while linking

The income tax department has warned PAN card holders that these reasons can disappoint them while linking Aadhaar with PAN. By paying a fine of 1,000 rupees, you can link your Aadhaar and your Permanent Account Number (PAN) by June 30, 2023. Consequently, people only have four days now to finish the linking process.

To ensure seamless linking of PAN and Aadhaar, in case of any demographic mismatch, the department has provided biometric-based authentication which can be accessed at dedicated centres of PAN Service Providers (Protean & UTIITSL).

While linking PAN with Aadhaar, demographic mismatch may show up for any of the following reasons:

• Name

• Date of Birth

• Gender
