The Income Tax Department of India on Saturday alerted PAN card holders regarding demographic mismatch which may occur due to a few reasons which can cause failure while linking aadhaar with PAN.
The Linking PAN to Aadhaar is a mandatory process for all individuals who have a PAN and Aadhaar.
What is the last date for PAN-Aadhaar link 2023?
The deadline for linking PAN and Aadhaar card is June 30, 2023.
Demographics mismatch in PAN-Aadhaar
The demographic mismatch in PAN-Aadhaar card may occure due to mismatch in:
• Name
• Date of Birth
• Gender
Demographics mismatch in PAN-Aadhaar occurs when the personal details mentioned in your PAN card and Aadhaar card do not match. This could be due to a number of reasons, such as a spelling mistake in your name, a difference in your date of birth, or a change in your gender.
If there is a demographics mismatch in your PAN-Aadhaar, you will not be able to link your PAN and Aadhaar. You will need to correct the mismatch in either your PAN card or your Aadhaar card before you can link them. To correct the mismatch in your PAN card, you can apply for a PAN card correction online or offline. To correct the mismatch in your Aadhaar card, you can visit a nearby Aadhaar Enrolment Centre.
To further facilitate the smooth linking of PAN & Aadhaar, the Income Tax Department in its tweet on June 23 provided direction to PAN holders who end up facing the demographic mismatch issue.

Step 2) Update Aadhaar card by visiting https://ssup.uidai.gov.in/web/guest/update
Step 3) Try linking PAN-Aadhaar again by visiting

If the linking request still fails then you avail the option of biometric-based authentication at dedicated centers of PAN Service Providers (Protean & UTIITSL). You will have to pay a charge of Rs. 50 for availing this option.
