Linking PAN and Aadhaar for a family member
Updated . Every paid answer is checked by a CA. Free AI answers are labelled until a CA verifies them.
Facts
Linking needs the person's PAN, Aadhaar and the OTP sent to their Aadhaar-linked mobile. A family member can help complete the steps, but the OTP must come from the person's registered mobile.
Provisions and law
- Sec 262, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 139AA)PAN and Aadhaar linking requirement continues under the new Act
- Sec 430, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 234H)Fee of ₹1,000 for intimating Aadhaar after the prescribed date
Analysis
The fee is paid against the parent's PAN, not yours. Example: you pay ₹1,000 from your own account but enter your father's PAN in the challan; that is fine as long as the challan carries his PAN. Then use his Aadhaar and the OTP on his mobile to complete the link.
Conclusion
- Pay the fee with the parent's PAN on the challan
- Keep the parent's Aadhaar mobile handy for OTP
- Submit the link request
- Check status after a few days
