Aadhaar PAN Linking
Inoperative PAN blocks refunds and filings. Get it linked and active.
What this is
We check your linking status, resolve name or date of birth mismatches that cause failures, pay the applicable fee and complete the link so your PAN becomes operative again.
Who should use this
Anyone whose PAN shows as inoperative
Filers whose return or refund is stuck for this reason
People whose linking fails because of a name or date mismatch
New PAN holders confirming their status
What you get out of it

An inoperative PAN cannot be used for returns, refunds or many bank services.
Higher TDS avoided
Deductors apply a higher rate when the PAN is inoperative.
Mismatch fixed
Where the link fails, we correct the underlying record rather than retrying blindly.

Aadhaar PAN Linking questions
Is there a fee?+
A late fee currently applies for linking after the original deadline. We confirm the amount before paying.
Why does my link keep failing?+
Almost always a spelling or date mismatch between the two databases. It must be corrected before the link succeeds.
Who is exempt?+
Certain categories such as some non residents and specified age groups are exempt. We check whether you fall inside one.
How long until it becomes operative?+
Usually a few working days after the request is accepted.
