New Delhi: Aadhaar Card must be linked with various other accounts to avail benefit from government schemes, file IT returns, have a bank account or even get a new mobile connection. Let’s take a look at 5 Important Things Your Aadhaar Card Must Be Linked With:
1. PAN Card
The taxman made it compulsory to link Aadhaar Cards with PAN cards to curb manipulation of ITR filing. The last date for this is June 30th 2017 and it can be done online on the official website of Income Tax Department or by sending an SMS to UIDAI to link Aadhaar with PAN.
2. Mobile Connections

The mobile operators are propelling this e-KYC by asking the customers to take it to Stay Active.
3. Bank Account
