01 December 2009 well you have go through that way only bcz for change in first name or last name in PAN you have to fill up the form and have to submit that to relevant authorities to get it published in gazette. then only you can proceed further.

When u have change your first through affidavit. afterthan you have to change also in Voter ID Card,Ration Card,Driving Licence etc.. where your name was Identified. and after relavent changes you have to give a copy of any proof to TIN-FC center where u have applied for Changes in PAN.in all the process TIN-FC centers are always helpful to person.. so go through their advice also..

01 December 2009 For income tax, you have to give them a copy of the gazette issued by the state government. This shows your old name as well as new. They will change the same. Even Collector (Voter Card, Ration Card and Driving License, Bank etc.) require this Gazette copy. You have to give an application with payment for the booklet in which your name change entry is printed. This gazette entry read with your birth certificate or other documents (SSC, HSC, BCom) is valid proof of your name change.

Passport office in addition to the Gazette Copy wants you to publish advertisement in one national daily and one regional daily newspapers.
