It contains the following details: name, father&#8217;s name, date of birth, and a 10-digit alphanumeric code. The Income Tax Department of India issues PAN cards. They are essential documents for Indian citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to keep all the details on your PAN card up-to-date and correct. If there are any errors, you should immediately update them. You can change your name on your PAN card by filling out a PAN Change Request Form and submitting it to the NSDL or UTIITSL, along with the required supporting documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_for_PAN_card_name_change\"><\/span>Reasons for PAN card name change<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Sometimes people change their legal identity vis-\u00e0-vis their name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change their surname after marriage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spell the wrong name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mismatch with the Aadhaar Card details, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You may need to update your PAN card name at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can change your PAN card name online or offline.
