Checked on 11 November 2026. Fees, forms and steps change. Confirm on the official website before you pay. This is not a government website, and we do not process any application.
What you need
- Your PAN and your Aadhaar number
- The mobile number linked to your Aadhaar
- A way to pay the late fee online, if the link is not yet done
Steps
Tick each step as you finish it. The ticks stay in your browser.
Fee
Checking the status is free. Linking after the deadline carries a fee of ₹1,000, as reported when we checked.
Good to know
- Linking fails most often because the name, date of birth or gender differs between PAN and Aadhaar. Correct the wrong record first, then link.
- A PAN that is not linked becomes "inoperative". Refunds can be held back and tax may be deducted at a higher rate until it is linked.
- Pay only through the income tax portal. Do not pay any person or website that promises to link your PAN for a charge.
- Some people are exempt from linking under the rules. The portal's FAQ lists who they are.
Official website
The link opens the official site in a new tab. Check that the address in your browser matches.
