Name Mismatch in Aadhaar & PAN – Now you can Link both easily

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

Link Aadhaar to PAN on Income Tax efiling Website

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.

  • My Name & Date of birth in Adharcrad and Pancard is not matching with each others
    So how can i rectify this error ?

  • My date of birth, Gender are all same in pan and Aadhaar. My name in Pan is Mala Ramesh and in Aadhaar , it is Malaramesh. It is neither getting linked nor sends me any OTP. How to link pan and aadhaar now.

  • my name in aadhaar was as ACHAMMA and in pan card it was ACHAMMA KURIAN . I have coorected my aadhaar card yesterday .but its not linking, its says there is some mismatch. why is that so.

    • Try after some days. Generally it takes time to update in database from where it looks up for PAN details. This is what I have come to know from other readers!

  • I have a name mismatch with Pan.. but unable to use the OTP option as mentioned. Kindly advise if the OTP (not sure where it is shown) option is for partial name mismatch. For your reference: My PAN Name: P GOWRI, Aadhar Name: Gouri Picharaman (when translated from regional to English there is a typo) and I'm unable to link.

  • My maiden name is there in the PAN Card. And in Aadhaar it just first name followed by W/o Husband name. All my other document like Passport, voters ID everything is like Name + Husband name.Please let me know where exactly i have to make changes.
