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.

Find

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

Sec 262, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 139AA); Sec 430, Income-tax Act 2025 (old Sec 234H)

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.
