Many discovered that their PAN had been marked \u201cinoperative\u201d only when their mutual fund transactions failed, or their e-KYC was rejected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent this last-minute rush, it\u2019s essential to understand exactly how to link PAN with Aadhaar, what fees apply, and how to check if your PAN is already linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s begin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-eligibility-amp-key-requirements-before-linking-pan-with-aadhaar\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start the linking process, keep these points in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Your PAN must be active<\/strong> (not already inoperative).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Your Aadhaar must be valid<\/strong> with correct demographic details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your <strong>mobile number must be linked with Aadhaar<\/strong> to receive OTP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that <strong>your name, DOB, and gender match<\/strong> on both documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A <strong>late fee of \u20b91,000<\/strong> must be paid (if linking after the deadline).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have these ready, you can proceed to link PAN with Aadhaar online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pan-aadhaar-link-last-date-nbsp\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"h-step-1-visit-the-linking-page\"><strong>Step 1: Visit the Linking Page<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to the <strong>\u2018Link

completing the linking process, taxpayers must pay a mandatory fee of \u20b91,000 after the deadline as per the Income Tax Department\u2019s latest rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fee must be paid before submitting the linking request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Payment is done only through the e-Pay Tax service on the Income
