how can i correct my name in pan card

You can correct your name in your PAN card by applying for a 'Change/Correction in PAN Data' online through the official Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL websites.

• Visit the official portal and select the 'Changes or Correction in existing PAN Data/Reprint' option.
• Fill out the application form, ticking the box for name correction.
• Submit the form along with supporting documents (like your Aadhaar or Marriage Certificate) and pay the applicable fee.
• You can choose the paperless Aadhaar OTP-based authentication for faster processing.

The corrected PAN card is usually dispatched within about 15 days.
