Customers who fail to link their PAN with Aadhaar may face problems in banking as these PAN cards will be declared ‘inoperative’ after September 30.


If you are a customer of the State Bank of India (SBI) then this news is for you. The bank has informed that users who fail to link their Permanent Account Number (PAN) with their Aadhaar Card will face problems in banking as these PAN cards will be declared ‘inoperative’ after the deadline ends on September 30.

Banks have been asking customers to link their PAN and Aadhar card for quite some time. SBI has also taken to Twitter to advise its customers for the same to avoid any inconvenience. “We advise our customers to link their PAN with Aadhaar to avoid any inconvenience and continue enjoying a seamless banking service,” a tweet from the official handle of SBI read.

“If not linked, PAN will be rendered inoperative or inactive and cannot be quoted for conducting specified transactions,” it added.

To enjoy seamless banking services, the lender has advised its customers to visit the Income Tax e-filing portal and link PAN and Aadhaar.

Similarly, HDFC Bank has also urged its customers to link the two.

You just have to follow few simple steps to link your PAN card and Aadhaar card, on the newly launched Income Tax website.

Here are the simple steps to link your PAN and Aadhaar card online.

  • Visit the new Income Tax e-filing portal 2.0 at www.incometax.gov.in
  • Scroll down on the homepage and you’ll find the ‘Link Aadhaar’ option. Click on it.
  • On the new page, fill in all your details. Fill your PAN number, Aadhaar Number, Name as per Aadhaar and Mobile Number
  • Now tick on the box “I agree to validate my Aadhaar details”
  • Enter the 6-digit OTP that you received on your registered mobile number
  • Enter the OTP and click on ‘Validate’
  • After clicking, a pop-up message stating that your link PAN with the Aadhaar request has been submitted.


It is important to know that your name, date of birth, and gender on PAN will be verified against specifications on your Aadhaar card during this process. Therefore, you have to ensure that your name and number should exactly be the same as it is on your Aadhaar card.
