can we change pan card number

No, you cannot change your Permanent Account Number (PAN). The PAN is a unique, ten-digit alphanumeric code issued by the Income Tax Department and is designed to be a permanent, lifelong identifier for all financial transactions in India. The Income Tax Act strictly prohibits an individual from holding more than one PAN. You can, however, apply for corrections to update personal details like your name, date of birth, or address. In such cases, a new PAN card is issued, but the unique PAN number remains exactly the same.
