Link Aadhaar And PAN: How To Check If Aadhaar And PAN Are Linked Or Not?

What is PAN Card?

Whether you're planning to buy a car or a house, participate in the stock market, or convert your Indian rupees to foreign currency, you will need PAN for each of these activities. The Income Tax Department's Permanent Account Number (PAN) card is one of the most crucial documents in today's world.
A PAN card assists the Income-tax Authority in keeping track of all financial transactions that may be relevant to determining an individual's or company's tax obligations, as well as lowering the likelihood of tax evasion. The pan card, which contains the person's name, date of birth, and photograph, is also accepted as proof of identity.

What is Aadhaar?

The Unique Identifying Authority of India issues the Aadhaar card, which is a 12-digit identification number that can be verified (UIDAI). It serves as both identification and proof of residency. The Permanent Identification Number, or PAN, is a ten-character alphanumeric identification issued by the Income Tax Department under the supervision of the Central Board of Direct Taxation (CBDT). It is required for income tax filings and also serves as confirmation of identity.
