The August 31 deadline to link Aadhaar number with PAN card is just two days away, two months after it became mandatory for all citizens filing income tax returns. With the last date to link Aadhaar and PAN coming soon, if you fail to do so by August 31, your income tax returns will not be processed, according to Income Tax E-filing website. Moreover, the last date has already been extended once, the government has said the last date will not be extended anymore. This means you will not receive the income tax returns filed this year irrespective of whether you provided the acknowledgement number for Aadhaar card, or quoted it in the tax returns form; in either case, you must link the PAN and Aadhaar.
If you want to link the two but are not sure how to do it, you can use the e-facility launched by the Income Tax department, which is the easiest way to link the two.

How to link PAN card with Aadhaar online?
The Income Tax department’s facility to link Aadhaar and PAN by SMS provides users with two numbers: 567678, and 56161.
Send the SMS in the following format –
UIDPAN<SPACE>Aadhaar Card Number<SPACE>PAN Number
If your name is spelt differently in the records of the two agencies, you will receive an Aadhaar OTP via SMS for confirmation.
However, if other details, such as date of birth or sex, do not match, you will have to head to the National Securities Depository Ltd. website (for PAN), or UIDAI portal (for Aadhaar) to change details so that they match.
Though the process to link Aadhaar to PAN by SMS or the Internet is a must for all tax payers, it is mandatory for those whose incomes do not fall under the taxable bracket as well.
The process of linking Aadhaar and PAN is, of course, mandatory only if you plan to file tax returns on July 1 or later.
According to the Supreme Court ruling, those who do not have not been allotted Aadhaar number yet need not scramble for it, as the process is only for Aadhaar-holders.
