To correct your name on your PAN card, you must apply for a change or correction in PAN data. You can do this online through the official portals of Protean eGov Technologies (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL.
- Visit either the Protean or UTIITSL website and select the application for 'Changes or Correction in existing PAN Data'.
- Fill out the form, ensuring you select the check box next to the name field where the correction is required.
- Provide the correct name, upload the necessary supporting documents (like an Aadhaar card or marriage certificate for a change after marriage), and pay the applicable processing fee.
Upon submission, an acknowledgment number will be generated for status tracking.
