The question is - Is the PAN-Aadhar linking on the ITR website a prerequisite for opening an account? Both PAN and Aadhar card submitted to the bank, but the bank's objection is the PAN is not linked to Aadhar card. Also, the link you posted is from 2018 - more than 6 years old. Guidelines have kept on changing. Is there any current RBI directive/circular that PAN must be linked to Aadhar even if the applicant submits both PAN and Aadhar at the time of account opening?

The guideline is from RBI (no change to it); & the amendment is from ITD, that the PAN is inoperative if not linked to Aadhar. So, unless it is linked with Aadhar, it is not valid. Hence Banks insist to link PAN with Aadhar.

It looks like there is no RBI restriction. Banks are adopting their own policy. HDFC website clearly states that -

you can open a bank account even if your PAN is inoperative, but it depends on the bank’s policies and the type of account you're opening. For a smooth process, it is best to resolve the inoperative PAN issue as soon as possible. This can be done online through the Income Tax Department's website or at a PAN service center.
