  6. RITA says:

    During linking Aadhar and Pan number, there were mismatch in date of birth. I filled correction form at NSDL website to correct date of birth in Pan card and received acknowledgment number. thereafter I clicked KNOW YOUR PAN, entered all birth details, mobile number and got OTP to verify, after this we they gave us new PAN number with same name and birth details. Thinking I have been allotted new PAN number, I linked this with Aadhar. Yesterday I received email with attached pan card with corrected birth details with same PAN number as previous one. I tried to link this with aadhar, but it is showing that this Aadhar number is already linked with another pan card. Kindly advise how to delink my Aadhar card with wrongly linked wrong pan number’; so that I can link my correct PAN with Aadhar.

  7. Fahim says:

    I tried to link my Pan but on trying to do so, I got the error
    “THIS IS AN INVALID AADHAAR NUMBER” , even though
    My AADHAR NUMBER IS VALID/VERIFIED.
    This issue you have mentioned at Para 3 where in you say
    This could be on account of an invalid AADHAAR number.
    I contacted UIDAI at 1947 as well as email.
    But no use. They don’t even understand this issue.
    What can be done now?

    Please let me know what to do.

    Thanks,

I file I.T.R 1 on line my self.now the issues before me before me.are :

  13. S.Sundar says:

    Dear Sir,
    There are lot of problems linking Aadhaar with other documents like PAN card, Ration card, etc. In the “name ” section the surname in Aadhaar comes next to our name where as in other date base surname( or initial) comes first.To put an end to this confusion, it is better the data base in all documents are described/arranged as given in pass port( like surname and given name) which is accepted document internationally. Even for non passport holders, the same passport format may be used.

  14. KAMESHWAR RAO ADHIKARLA says:
