How to link PAN with Aadhaar?

A regulation mandated linking PAN to Aadhaar by June 30th, 2023, as a requirement for trading and investing. As of June 3rd, 2024, this regulation has changed ( NSE , BSE ). Clients can now trade and invest provided all other requisite conditions are met, including having a valid name, PAN, mobile number, email ID, complete address, income details, and KRA compliance.

To link PAN with Aadhaar, follow these steps:

  1. Visit eportal.incometax.gov.in/iec/foservices/#/pre-login/bl-link-aadhaar.
  2. Enter PAN and Aadhaar and click on Validate.
  3. Click on Continue, enter the name as per Aadhaar and the Aadhaar linked mobile number.
  4. Click on I have only year of birth in Aadhaar card if only the year of birth is present on Aadhaar, and then on I agree to validate my Aadhaar details and click on Link Aadhaar.
  5. Enter the OTP and click on Validate.


To check PAN Aadhaar linking status, visit eportal.incometax.gov.in/iec/foservices/#/pre-login/link-aadhaar-status. Enter the PAN and Aadhaar and click on View Link Aadhaar Status.

The following categories of clients are exempted from Aadhaar PAN linking:
  • NRIs
  • Not a citizen of India.
  • Age > 80 years as on date.
  • State of residence is Assam, Meghalaya or Jammu & Kashmir.
NRI clients whose trading account has been suspended for PAN and Aadhaar linking must update their residential status with the Income Tax Department (ITD). To learn how, see How to update the resident status of PAN for an NRI & PIO account? If clients who belong to the other exempted categories face trading restrictions, update the details on ITD by logging into eportal.incometax.gov.in/iec/foservices/#/login. For further assistance, contact ITD.

Did you know? While linking, ensure that the name and Date of Birth (DOB) on the Aadhaar match with the PAN. If there is a mismatch, update the name or DOB on Aadhaar. To learn how to update Aadhaar, visit uidai.gov.in/my-aadhaar/about-your-aadhaar/updating-data-on-aadhaar.html.
