Quick Summary
If an individual has passed away, there's generally no requirement to link their Aadhaar and PAN. Instead, the deceased's PAN should be surrendered or cancelled. Legal heirs may need to obtain a new PAN for the estate if required for tax purposes. This discussion clarifies the process for managing a deceased person's estate PAN and Aadhaar, especially when filing an estate's Income Tax Return.

If a person has passed away, there is no need to link their Aadhaar and PAN. In fact, as per the guidelines of the Income Tax Department of India, the PAN of a deceased person should be surrendered or canceled, and the legal heirs or representatives should obtain a new PAN if required.

Thanks for conforming my query

I own a estate pan card of my grandfather who has passed away 10 years ago. I file ITR for his estate as legal representative. How can I link my aadhar to my estate pan card as my aadhar card is linked to my personal pan card?
