can i change my name in pan card

Yes, you can certainly change or correct your name on your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card. The process is handled by the Income Tax Department through its authorized agencies, Protean (formerly NSDL) and UTIITSL.

• You need to apply for 'Changes or Correction in PAN Data' either online via the official portal or offline by submitting a physical form at a PAN centre.
• Supporting documents, such as a marriage certificate for a surname change or a Gazette notification for a legal name change, must be submitted along with the application.
• Once processed, the same 10-digit PAN number will be retained, and a new PAN card with the corrected name will be issued to you.
