23 October 2013 Way for getting your name changed on your PAN Card.

Steps:

1. You have to apply for a change or correction in PAN data. You can apply via online and acquire a PAN Change Request Form.

2. Fill out the form and fill all mandatory and important fields. Also state or correct the data on the information fields that you want to be changed in your current PAN card.

3. Before you submit your application form make sure that you have the following documents with you:

a. A proof of identity or address – the documents recognized as proof of identity are (affidavit, Newspaper Publication and Gazette Notification regarding the change of your name), school diplomas or certificates, bank account statement, passport, voter identity card, driver’s license, credit card, marriage license or certificate, divorce papers (if divorced). Any of these documents can be submitted. In the case of a minor, the applicant can pass his/her parents’ documents or his/her Student Identity Card.

b. Present your current PAN card. If lost, submit an FIR stating the loss of your PAN card
