how to block pan card

The most common way to block or surrender a PAN card is when it belongs to a deceased person or if you have a duplicate.

• For a deceased person's PAN, the legal heir should submit an application to the Assessing Officer.
• The application must state the reason for cancellation (death) and include the PAN number and a copy of the death certificate.
• It is recommended to transfer or close all associated financial accounts before initiating the blocking process.
