For some reason, if an individual looks forward to changing the name on their Permanent Account Number (PAN) card, it is quite possible to do so. The Income-tax department allows an individual to change the name on a PAN card via online mode. The process to name change on a PAN card can be initiated as follows:

Log on to: https://www.utiitsl.com/ Select PAN Card Services and click on Apply PAN Card from the drop-down Go to Change/ Correction in PAN Card Then select Apply for Change/ Correction in PAN Card details You will be directed to a page titled: Application for Change/ Correction in PAN Data

Then, an individual will be directed to select two options: Physical (Forward Application with documents physically) and Digital (Paperless). In this case, select Digital.

Further, an individual is required to select the Aadhaar-based e-KYC option (Details of the resident are fetched based on the Aadhaar Number from the UIDAI Server) . After this, it selects the option Sign Using Aadhaar-based eSign (Signing of the Application is done using Aadhaar-based eSign).

Key in the PAN and select the PAN card mode, that is, whether an individual wants to opt for a physical PAN card as well as an updated PAN card (both physical and e-PAN) or need only an e-PAN. This is followed by pressing the Submit button.

Fill in the details in the application form with the relevant information and pay the fees. The fee for a name change on a PAN card is Rs110 for a contact address within the country and Rs 1,020 for a contact address outside India.

This will be followed by an Aadhaar authentication process, which will be on a real-time basis from the UIDAI server. The application will be processed further after this.

In the case of eKYC services, a one-time password (OTP) will be sent to the UIDAI-registered mobile number. Once the OTP is keyed in and consent in the requisite box is ticked, an individual’s address from the UIDAI database will be populated in the PAN form.

An individual is required to verify the application data in addition to providing other details and submit.

Another OTP for eSign will be received and on keying in the OTP, the application will be signed via an Aadhaar-based e-signature.

Subsequently, the application will be saved and processed further by UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Ltd (UTIITSL) for PAN card name change with the help of Aadhaar.

How to change your name in PAN Card after marriage

Here are the steps to change the name on your pan card after marriage..

Listen to Story

Maharshi Shah

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is one of the most important documents which is an identity proof. Therefore it is imperative that the information provided on the PAN card is correct or accurate. However, there are cases where the information printed on the PAN card is false or incorrect. In such cases, the applicants can apply for a change/correction in their PAN card through the UTIITSL portal.

There are many cases where individuals have more than one PAN. For instance, if an individual loses his/her PAN card and wants to reissue, but there are discrepancies in the address. In such cases to avoid the hassle involved in applying for re-issuance with an address change, sometimes a person may apply for a new one and end up having two PAN cards and thus has to surrender the duplicate PAN .

Steps to Apply for Change/Correction in PAN

Open the UTIITSL portal first to start the process

Hence, we move to the application page. Select the form of forwarding the documents by clicking on the respective check-box and enter your PAN number.

After completing the above process, you will be directed to the payment gateway. Upon successful completion of the payment, the process of change or correction in the PAN card will be initiated.

Any Indian person or HUF applying to make changes in the current details in their Pan Card has to submit: – A valid government approved ID proof copy (either Aadhaar Card or Driving License or Passport, etc.) – Valid address proof copy (DL, utility bill, domicile certificate, etc.) – A valid proof of date of birth (Voter ID card, DL, passport, etc.) – The individual applicants should also provide two passport size photographs with their application.

You can submit the application in the form “Request for new PAN card or/and Changes or Correction in PAN data” in the following cases: – When you already have PAN but want a new PAN card, – When you want to make some changes or corrections in your existing PAN details

Hey @TeamQuicko , what is the minimum age required for getting a PAN card?

Hey @SonalYadav ,

No - you cannot randomly select your AO code and type just based on the state. In TIN-NSDL PAN application you need to select AO based on the description provided on the AO in the Help utility for AO selection after you select State and City, as shown in the image below -

So once you select State and City - you’ll see a list of AO’s with different descriptions. Most common one - if you’re salaried with income below 20 lacs as seen in this example it will be WARD 7(1)(4) in Ahmedabad, as we chose Ahmedabad as the city for this example.

Similarly AOs will be different for Government sector employees, business owners, etc. Once you select that AO, AO type and code will automatically be filled in the respective fields of your application.

If you’re still confused regarding your AO, you’re best suited to get professional help for the same. Choose Quicko’s PAN Application Plan and have your PAN application handled by professionals in hassle free manner.

Hey @SonalYadav

To get an e-PAN or a PDF version of PAN card - you can:

• Apply for a reprint of your PAN card (not a new PAN)

Steps to apply for Reprint/Duplicate e-PAN via NSDL website

• Visit NDSL portal → New PAN application page

• Select option for Application Type → Changes or Correction in existing PAN data/ Reprint of PAN Card & Category as applicable(Eg. Individual, HUF, Firm, LLP, etc)
• Fill out personal information in corresponding fields, go next
• Temporary token number will be generated for your application, which you’ll use throughout the process (Note down this temporary token number) & Click Continue with PAN Application Form.

Note: If during the application process the session times out or you wish to continue later - you can click on Registered user tab and use your token number to resume the application

• Digitally (through e-KYC & e-Sign, using Aadhar)
• Scanned images through e-Sign on C-DAC or NSDL
• Forward application documents Physically

Among these options, e-KYC through Aadhaar is the easiest, since you don’t need to submit further documents as proof of your identity and your e-KYC is completed using Aadhaar OTP.

• Under the mode of delivery → select e-PAN option
• Enter Aadhaar details (Recommended, not mandatory) and complete other personal details like gender, parents name, etc.
• Next, enter only your mobile number and go next - there’ll be options to change details. If you are applying for a reprint you won’t need to change them as you just need a reprint.
• copy of your PAN card as proof of PAN
• Address proof,
• identity & Date of Birth (Aadhar by default for e-KYC)
• You’ll see a summary of the application before the final submission - review the details and confirm the submission.
• Pay application fees - to mention a mode of payment via which you’ll complete your application (Demand Draft/Online Banking, Cards)
• Enter the OTP sent on your Aadhaar registered mobile number to verify the details.

It usually takes 15–20 days to receive the duplicate PAN card.

Track your PAN application using Check PAN Card Status tool

You also get an instant e-PAN from the Income Tax Department.

Following is the sample of an e-PAN:

Hope this helps!

Hey @HarshitShah

Go to Know Your PAN and enter your Name, Date of Birth and mobile number to fetch your PAN details from Income Tax database.

Or, you can get your old PAN Number from:

• Previously filed ITR (Income Tax Return)
• Request your bank to provide you with your PAN number, that you linked with your bank account.

Once you fetch your PAN number, you can apply for a reprint of your PAN on Quicko or on NSDL website - refer Team Quicko’s answer to How can I get a new duplicate copy of my pan card

Hope that answered your question! In case you need further assistance, feel free to send us a message or mention a comment below.

Hey @ViraajAhuja47

It is very easy to get an acknowledgement number

You can get this number Online or Offline:

If you have applied for a new Pan Card or have applied to change any data in the existing Pan Database, the acknowledgement number can be found in Pan Acknowledgement sheet or on the Pan Acknowledgement form that has been provided to you.

If you applied online for PAN, the acknowledgement number will be delivered to your given Email Id.

After getting the acknowledgement number you can track you PAN status using NSDL website.
