Before we begin with the linking process, let us first understand what Aadhaar and PAN cards are and their importance.

Aadhaar Card

Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identification number issued by the Government of India. It contains demographic and biometric information of an individual, such as name, date of birth, gender, address, and fingerprints. Aadhaar is used to identify and authenticate the identity of an individual for various government schemes, services, and benefits. It is also used as proof of identity and address for opening bank accounts, obtaining passports, and obtaining other government services.

PAN Card

PAN (Permanent Account Number) is a unique 10-digit alphanumeric identifier issued by the Income Tax Department. It is used to track and identify all financial transactions made by an individual, including income tax payments, tax returns, and other financial transactions. PAN is mandatory for all individuals, including NRIs and foreign nationals, who have taxable income in India.

Why Link Aadhaar and PAN?

The government has made it mandatory to link Aadhaar and PAN to curb tax evasion and to ensure that all financial transactions are traceable. It is also an effort to eliminate duplicate and fake PAN cards. Linking Aadhaar and PAN will help in simplifying the tax filing process for individuals and reducing the chances of errors in the tax return. It will also help the government to identify and track taxpayers easily.
