Linking by sending a message
You can also link your PAN with Aadhaar by sending an SMS to either 567678 or 56161 in below format.

Incase of mismatch of NAME in PAN and Aadhar
After providing the details the name, gender and date of birth (year of birth) will be validated. In case if there is any slight mismatch in name registered with PAN and Aadhaar, you will get an OTP to the mobile number linked to you Aadhaar. However to get the OTP the other details namely gender and date of birth must match in both PAN and Aadhaar.
If other details mismatch too
If the gender and date of birth are also mismatching then the linking will be failed. In this case, the individual need to make necessary changes to PAN or Aadhaar.
