Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before applying.

I've lost my physical PAN card — can I still request a correction?

Yes. If you do not have the physical card, a copy of your original PAN allotment letter issued by the Income Tax Department is accepted as proof of PAN instead.

How does a transgender applicant prove a name change?

A Transgender Certificate issued by the District Magistrate is the accepted proof of change for transgender applicants updating their name.

Do I need to submit proof for both my current and permanent address?

If your communication address and permanent address are different, you need to submit proof of address for both — not just one.

Can I correct my PAN details without visiting a centre in person?

Correction requests can typically be started online through the official UTIITSL or Protean portals, though you may still need to submit documents for verification depending on the type of correction.
