Name Mismatch in Aadhaar and PAN – Now you can Link both easily
The government of India has made it mandatory to link your PAN card with Aadhaar Number. In case you do not do so by July 1, 2017 your PAN card would be invalid, which means you might not be able to file your tax returns. We had already written about How to link your PAN & Aadhaar if there was NO mismatch between the same. However there was linking issue in case the names did not match on PAN & Aadhar. Recently Income Tax Website has changed the linking form – so that it works for name mismatch cases too.
Step 1: Login to Income Tax efiling Website
Step 2: Select Profile Settings > Link Aadhaar
You get the below screen where you can fill in your Aadhaar Number and Name and submit “Link Aadhaar”
This would enable everyone with name mismatch to link there PAN card to Aadhaar number. However if you have problem with Date of Birth/gender mismatch you need to get it corrected in aadhaar/PAN.
Acknowledgement:
Once this is done you would get an acknowledgement of the same as in the screen below.
Instructions:
Please ensure the Date of Birth; Gender & Aadhaar Number is as per Aadhaar details
If Name as per Aadhaar is not exactly matched then user has to additionally provide Aadhaar OTP or EVC to proceed with partial name match.
Once Aadhaar-PAN linking is completed, you can e-Verify your return using Aadhaar, if your mobile is registered with Aadhaar.

Some Issues:
At times some people are getting message “Technical Error at UIDAI. Please try again”. This may be due to overload on UADAI server. You can try after some time and you should be able to link your PAN to Aadhaar.

Dear Sir,
My mothers DOB in the pan and aadhar are different. Can you please suggest how do i get the two linked in this situation
If all online method and SMS fails you have no option but to use the new offline form for linking PAN to Aadhaar
Name, gender and DOB on both Aadhaar and Pan card are perfectly matching however, I'm unable to link it on the Incometax site and kept getting the 'linking failed' message. I tried on firefox and chrome browsers and both gave the same error message. Kindly help!

My wife is not able to link Aadhar and pan . I verified name, gender and DOB are all same. Not sure what the issue is...it says name mismatch.
Kannan
I try to link aadhaar with my pan 100 of time, but not successful nothing worked.. but these id*ts give time only upto june..
I agree with you sir. I tried to link my AADHAAR with my PAN for the past 2 months, and it never succeed. I filed a complaint regarding this in incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in but they say the same to change my name in PAN or AADHAAR. I applied for name change in PAN before 1 month, still it is under process with NSDL. Very poorly implemented AADHAAR PAN linking system. They should send OTP for everyone irrespective of name mismatch or not , to link these two.
Aadhaar card and pan card date no match.............
Yes...the linking does not work for me too..
Hi I have very different issue, my wife is a state gov employee, she started working before marriage and hence her name in PAN Card and all the gov docs has the name of her with her Father, while we get her passport and aadhar card with my name. So now her name on PAN card and aadhar card are different (middle name and surname). What should we do, if we change the name on PAN Card it will conflict with name in all her govt related documents including her CPF account. PLease advice I am sure I am not the first one facing the issue.
As I can see almost every financial and non-financial transaction in India is going to be linked to Aadhaar. If you could not link through this method, I would suggest you to link your savings account in any bank with Aadhaar. Income tax is automatically picking it from there. There is no official notification for the same but have seen many such cases, that the aadhaar was already lined to the PAN after it was submitted to bank account.
Also I am not sure how change in name on PAN card would impact you - for me this is quite common for women after marriage and is widely accepted!
I am facing same issue. C an you please let me know how can I link??
i have same name with same spellings in both aadhar and pan also the gender and date of birth are same still the linking fails.
message comes on mobile stating that - contact pan center for linking aadhaar using biometrics (this comes when i use SMS to link the aadhar)
Hi Amir, there is no otp option... Can you provide a screenshot if there is any otp option..
Many are not getting option for OTP, do not worry if the linkage happens without that.
The linking still doesnt work for partial name mismatch. My wife's aadhar has my last name as surname whereas PAN has a different surname. There is no option to get OTP , it says Aadhar linking failed. DOB & Sex are all correct in both places. Dont know what the issue is.
