In my earlier post, I explained you in detail about how to link Aadhaar with PAN card using Online and SMS method (Ref:-Unable to link Aadhaar with PAN – What are the alternatives?). In this post, I will try to explain you the facility of how to link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
How to link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE?
You noticed from my earlier post of linking Aadhaar with PAN card online, there are many individuals who are still unable to link Aadhaar with PAN card.
You may be one among many where your name, gender, and date of birth are exactly matching in both Aadhaar and PAN card. However, you are still not able to link it.
There may be many issues to it. For few who updated the details in Aadhaar recently, are unable to link. The reason is, IT Dept fetching UDAI data with a certain frequency (which we don’t know). Hence, whoever updated Aadhaar recently are still unable to link.
The second issue, which I noticed from my blog readers comments and response is that of the browser. If you change your browser or clear cache, then few were able to link immediately.
These two may be glitches. However, considering all these mass complaints seriously, IT Dept now started an option to link Aadhaar with PAN Card OFFLINE.
