If you are unable to link your PAN card to your Aadhaar card online, you can visit any of the PAN-Aadhaar linking centers across India.
Here are some things to keep in mind when linking your PAN card to your Aadhaar card:
- Your PAN and Aadhaar numbers must be in the same name.
- Your Aadhaar number must be linked to your mobile number.
- You must have a valid email address.
If you are linking your PAN card to your Aadhaar card for the first time, you will need to provide your biometric information (fingerprints and iris scan).
Once your PAN card is linked to your Aadhaar card, you will be able to use your Aadhaar number for all your financial transactions, such as filing income tax returns, opening bank accounts, and buying mutual funds.
I hope this helps!
