If you missed the deadline to link your PAN card with your Aadhaar, you can still link them, but there may be a late fee involved, depending on the current regulations. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:
Steps to Link PAN with Aadhaar:
- Visit the Income Tax e-Filing Website:

- Fill in Your Details:
- Enter your PAN, Aadhaar number, and other required details (such as your name and date of birth).
- Provide the OTP:
- An OTP will be sent to the mobile number registered with your Aadhaar. Enter this OTP to complete the linking process.
- Confirmation:
- After successful submission, you should receive a confirmation message regarding the linking.
Late Fee:
If you missed the original deadline, check if the Income Tax Department has set any new deadlines or late fees. The late fee can vary based on the regulations, so it’s best to consult the official website or contact customer support for the latest updates.
Alternative Methods:
- Through SMS: In some cases, the Income Tax Department allows linking via SMS. Check the official website for specific SMS formats.
