Earlier IT Department provided online and SMS based option to link Aadhaar with PAN Card. However, many individuals facing issues while linking. Hence, now IT Dept started an option link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE. Let us see the feature and how one can link offline.
Note:-As expected, the deadline to link Aadhaar with PAN extended to 31st March 2018.
In my earlier post, I explained you in detail about how to link Aadhaar with PAN card using Online and SMS method (Ref:-Unable to link Aadhaar with PAN – What are the alternatives?). In this post, I will try to explain you the facility of how to link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
You noticed from my earlier post of linking Aadhaar with PAN card online, there are many individuals who are still unable to link Aadhaar with PAN card.
You may be one among many where your name, gender, and date of birth are exactly matching in both Aadhaar and PAN card. However, you are still not able to link it.
There may be many issues to it. For few who updated the details in Aadhaar recently, are unable to link. The reason is, IT Dept fetching UDAI data with a certain frequency (which we don’t know). Hence, whoever updated Aadhaar recently are still unable to link.
The second issue, which I noticed from my blog readers comments and response is that of the browser. If you change your browser or clear cache, then few were able to link immediately.
These two may be glitches. However, considering all these mass complaints seriously, IT Dept now started an option to link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
Let us see the procedure of the same. Below is an image of the form, which you have to use to fill the details while link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
Note: – Download the form to link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
# You have to submit eh filled form to the designated PAN Service Centers.
# You have to fill the above-shared form and you must personally visit for link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
# Visit with ORIGINAL PAN Card and Aadhaar Card.
# It is not FREE service. Such designated PAN Service Centers will charge you some nominal charges. However, this charge is not prescribed by IT Dept.
# However, these designated PAN Service Centers will not charge you any fee if you are linking Aadhaar with PAN Card while applying for new PAN card.
# You have to do Biometric authentication while link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
# However, such Biometric authentication is COMPULSORY if there are sufficient mismatches.
# You will find the list of such designated PAN Service Centers list in the NSDL and UTIITSL portal.

When saw e pan on IT site unknowingly opted & thae e pan got linked to aadhar which I am not using & requesting ITto cancel EPan & allow me to use original pan.6 Feb 23 submitted all papers, affidavit etc as desired. No action so far. Persuing through mail being 69 years old - heart patient too
Dear Nagaraj,
No option but to approach for the cancelation of one PAN.
if one donot link pan card with aadhaar whose income not come under tax bracket then what happen. AND WHAT IS LAST DATE for linking .
ASD-They block such PAN cards. The deadline as of now is 31st December.
Hi. I lost my pan card and when I applied to reissue new one agent thought as I was applying for new and he submitted. IT has allotted me new pan number with incorrect details and Aadhar card got linked. How do I cancel new pan card which are incorrect details and link my existing pan to Aadhar card.
Kumar-Refer THIS.
Thank you. But problem here 1. I had not used my new pan however details are wrong. But my Aadhar card Linked to new pan card. 2. Old one I'm using so should I visit local income tax office to surrender my old one which I'm using or cancel the new one through online. If I cancel new one through online can I link my old pan card to Aadhar card
Kumar-Better to cancel the new one. Once it is deactivated, then you can link Aadhaar to old PAN.
So if I cancel the pan card it will automatically delink to Aadhar and then I can link it to my old card. Correct me if I'm wrong
Kumar-YES.
But here I done a mistake need you suggestion. Unfortunately I placed both pan cards for cancellations. What to do and whom to approach
Kumar-Wait for their response then.
Okay will wait I'm confused what if my both pan cards get cancelled
Initial request mention my new pan and requested to cancel old pan mistakenly I realised and raised one more request to cancel new one
I have got 2 UAN numbers i.e.:1 from previous employer and 2nd from current employer. I am unable to link AADHAR number in KYc section. System throws error as details are not matching. My PAN number and AADHAR number are linked in ITV-R website successfully. My Mobile Number and EMAIL is linked to AADHAR number. To transfer last PF account to my current PF, AADHAR should be linked. It only thrws message details are not matching. What should be done? My name details are slightly different between PAN and AADHAR cards. In PAN my initials are not mentioned but in AADHAR my initials are mentioned. Still I was able to link between these cards. Now facing issue only between linkage of AADHAR to my both UAN numbers.
Anjida-Whether your concern is linking Aadhaar with EPF or PAN?
AADHAR and PAN are linked in ITR V website.
Issue is with AADHAR not getting linked to my both UAN numbers.
Anjida-If not linking, then visit the nearest EPFO office and link it. But before that request EPFO through your current employer for the merger of both UAN.
No I had approached EPFO office. They informed they cannot help in linkage. And we need to do via system only. And when I informed about the error, they told similar error is faced by them too and we need await until AADHAR server is up. Though in error message it shows as details are not matching.
Anjida-I think they don't know :) Many blog readers linked Aadhaar to EPF by visiting the EPFO office.
My Aadhar name and DOB were changed on 7 sept 2017.I understand someone used their old aadhar name to link PAN even after updation of aadhar as new particulars will take time to link with pan.But same is not true for me as my DOB also were a mismatch.How much time before i am able to link the two?
Suhail-No definite time but you can try after some days.
Dear Sir,
My Aadhaar number has been linked to PAN no. which has been deactivated by Income Tax Dept. I have received a letter also from Income tax Dept that my PAN has been deactivated & another PAN issued to me. When I try to link my Aadhar to my ACTIVE PAN No. it gives error message
"This aadhar is already linked to some other PAN."
I had visited the Income Tax Office also & they checked in their record and said Aadhar is linked to Deactivated PAN. They offered no solution of how to DE-LINK Aadhar from Deactivated PAN & Link it to my ACTIVE PAN. Have placed various grievances on NSDL Site & Income Tax Site and uploaded all necessary documents. Till date no redresal.
I had been to Karvy Consultants also and tried even Offline method, but no success.
Please advice
Roshan
Roshan-Please contact your AO or directly to IT Dept.
This blog was very helpful. I had spent almost a week trying to link my Aadhaar and PAN . But after reading this page, I got the info that Aadhaar details if updated recently would take time to reflect and hence used my name as per my old Aadhaar card for linking. It worked. Thanks a lot to Basavaraj and Luckky for giving this idea....
Deepthi-This is great to know :)
Thanks for such a wonderful blog.
There is no specific process by which you linked your Adhar with PAN, it's a matter of luck only. If you are lucky enough it linked in seconds and in a one go but if not, even after tried several time it won't. My aadhar and PAN details matches but unable to link, more interesting PAN centres don't have any clue of offline process till date.
Ravi-Yes, many said that PAN centers not following this and not aware of it.
I HAVE APPLIED FOR AADHAR CORRECTION ON 01-7-2017 BUT MY AADHAR CORRECTION HAS NOT DONE YET SO MY AADHAR IS NOT LINKED WITH PAN CARD
PLEASE ADVICE ME THAT CAN I STILL WAIT FOR AADHAR CORRECTION OR IT IS NECESSARY TO CORRECTION IN AADHAR CARD BEFORE 31 AUGUST
Sandeep-I am not sure why such delay in updates with UDAI. Cross check with UDAI at first.
Is linking mandatory before 31st AUG If I dont file ITR.? Can it be linked after that?
Neeraj-Linking is now mandatory.
