How do I know that my Aadhar number is attached with my PAN card?

There are two ways to check if your Aadhaar number is attached with your PAN card:

Online:

1. Go to the Income Tax e-filing portal: https://www.incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal/
2. Click on the Quick Links section on the top left side of the page.
3. Select Link Aadhaar Status.
4. Enter your PAN and Aadhaar numbers.
5. Click on View Link Aadhaar Status.

If your PAN and Aadhaar are linked, the status will be shown as “Linked”. If they are not linked, the status will be shown as “Not Linked”.

SMS:

1. Type the following SMS: UIDPAN <12-digit Aadhaar number> <10-digit PAN number>
2. Send the SMS to either 567678 or 56161.

You will receive a reply message indicating the status of your PAN-Aadhaar linking. If your PAN and Aadhaar are linked, the message will say “Aadhaar is already associated with PAN (number) in ITD database. Thank you for using our services.” If they are not linked, the message will say “Aadhaar is not associated with PAN (number) in ITD database. Thank you for using our services.”

Please note: It is mandatory to link your PAN and Aadhaar numbers by March 31, 2024. If you do not link your PAN and Aadhaar by the deadline, your PAN will become inoperative.

If you have any trouble linking your PAN and Aadhaar, you can visit your nearest NSDL or UTIITSL PAN Service Center for assistance.
