The permanent account
number (PAN) has to be quoted in the income tax returns and for various
financial transactions, such as investments, and purchase/sale of property. As
such it should be updated at all times. In case of an error in the photo or
signature mismatch, the holder must ensure that a new, revised card bearing the
same number is issued with the changes.
Application form The applicants have to fill the online 'Request for new
PAN card and/or changes
or correction in PAN data form' on
the NSDL website (www.tin-nsdl.com). The holder must check the box on the left
where the change/correction is required.
Acknowledgement:
An acknowledgement screen will be displayed on submission, which the
applicant must save, print and sign. The applicant must affix two colour
photographs on this.
Documents: It is mandatory
to provide identity and address proofs with the change request. Any changes or
corrections in the card details should be supported by relevant documents, as
required by the income tax rules.
Fee: The fee for
processing the change request is Rs 85, besides the applicable service tax. It
can be paid through demand draft, cheque, credit/debit card or via Net banking.
Points to note
> If one loses a
PAN card and is applying for a new one, all the columns in the application form
must be filled without ticking any box in the left margin. A copy of an FIR
must also be submitted along with the form.
> The
acknowledgement, payment and documents should reach NSDL within 15 days of
filing the online application.
