PAN Aadhaar Link Status: How to Check It on the Income Tax Portal

How to check PAN Aadhaar linking status online

If you want to find out whether your Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Aadhaar are linked, use the Income Tax Department's official e-Filing portal. The department provides a status-checking service before login, so you can check without entering a tax account password.

### Steps without logging in

1. Open incometax.gov.in (opens in a new tab). 2. In the homepage's Quick Links, select Link Aadhaar / View Status (the wording may be shown as Link Aadhaar Status). 3. Choose Continue within the View Status option if it appears. 4. Enter your own PAN and Aadhaar number in the official form. 5. Click View Link Aadhaar Status and read the message returned.

The department's user manual describes status messages for a successful link and for a request that is still being processed. If a request is pending with UIDAI, the department advises checking again later.

### What if the status says the numbers are not linked?

Use the portal's Link Aadhaar service rather than assuming your earlier request succeeded. Some applicants may need to pay a fee before submitting a link request. The portal will show applicable instructions; do not pay a stranger or an unrelated website. Legal obligations and exemptions can depend on the person's circumstances, so consult the department's current official guidance.

### Can I check after logging in?

Yes. The Income Tax Department also describes checking from the account dashboard or My Profile > Link Aadhaar Status.

### What if the details are linked to the wrong number?

The official manual describes cases where an Aadhaar is linked to another PAN or vice versa. In these situations, it may be necessary to contact the jurisdictional Assessing Officer (AO) for delinking help. Do not repeatedly enter sensitive information on unofficial lookup sites.

### Safety

Enter PAN and Aadhaar only on government portals that you deliberately opened. Never share a one-time password, full Aadhaar screenshot, or tax-login credentials with anyone offering to check the link status for you.
