To link your Aadhaar card with your PAN (Permanent Account Number) for income tax purposes, you can follow these steps:

1. Visit the official website of the Income Tax Department of India: https://www.incometaxindiaefiling.gov.in/home.
2. Under the "Quick Links" section, click on the "Link Aadhaar" option.
3. You will be redirected to a new page. Enter your PAN, Aadhaar number, and name as per Aadhaar in the respective fields.
4. Enter the captcha code displayed on the screen and click on the "Link Aadhaar" button.
5. If the details entered by you match with the details in the Aadhaar database, your Aadhaar will be successfully linked with your PAN for income tax purposes.

Alternatively, you can link your Aadhaar with PAN through SMS by sending an SMS from your registered mobile number in the following format:

UIDPAN<12-digit Aadhaar><10-digit PAN>

Send this SMS to 567678 or 56161.

For example: UIDPAN 123456789012 ABCDE1234F

After sending the SMS, if your Aadhaar and PAN details match, your Aadhaar will be linked with PAN successfully for income tax purposes.

It's important to ensure that your details such as name, date of birth, and gender on both your Aadhaar and PAN card match before attempting to link them. If there are any discrepancies, you may need to update the information first.
