If your name, address, date of birth, or contact details are wrong or have changed (like after marriage), you can request a PAN Card Correction.
Think of it like updating your address on your ID card. You still keep the same PAN number, but the details linked to it get updated.
What Can You Update on Your PAN?
You can correct or change:
- Name (after marriage or due to error)
- Address (for communication)
- Mobile number
- Email ID
- Date of birth
- Father’s name
- Signature or photo
