PAN Update / Correction

Correct name, DOB, address, photo or signature in PAN

Information last verified: September 2026 · Always verify on the official portal before payment.

Real government fee
Rs. 107 (India address) / Rs. 1,017 (foreign address) for the change/correction request via Protean.
How many days
Typically 15 working days after successful verification. Aadhaar-based e-KYC updates are faster.
Who can apply
Existing PAN holders who want to correct name spelling, date of birth, father's/mother's name, address, photo, or signature.
Best time to apply
Fix Aadhaar first (if Aadhaar itself is wrong) — then update PAN, since PAN is often verified against Aadhaar.

Documents you need

  • Existing PAN number
  • Aadhaar (matching the corrected details)
  • Proof supporting the change (marriage certificate for surname; gazette for legal name change; corrected 10th mark sheet or birth certificate for DOB, etc.)
  • Recent photo and signature (if updating those)
  • Active mobile and email (Aadhaar-linked for e-KYC/e-Sign)

Important warnings

  • • If Aadhaar has the wrong name/DOB, correct Aadhaar FIRST — otherwise PAN update may fail e-KYC.
  • • Do not tick unrelated fields — every ticked change needs a matching document proof.
  • • Sahayak is only a guide; use ONLY the official Protean or UTIITSL portal to submit corrections.
  • • Never share Aadhaar OTP with any 'helper' — you can do the whole process yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

PAN card mein naam kaise correct kare online? / How to correct name in PAN card online?
Go to Protean's official 'Changes or Correction in existing PAN data' page. Enter your PAN, tick ONLY the 'Name' box, type the corrected name exactly as on your Aadhaar, and pay Rs. 107 (Indian address). Using Aadhaar e-KYC + e-Sign makes the whole flow paperless.
PAN mein date of birth kaise sudhare? / How do I fix wrong DOB in PAN?
In the correction form tick only the DOB field and enter your correct DOB (matching Aadhaar). Accepted proofs: Aadhaar, 10th mark sheet, birth certificate or passport. Fix your Aadhaar DOB first if it's wrong there — verification uses Aadhaar.
Shaadi ke baad PAN card par surname kaise change kare? / How to change surname in PAN after marriage?
Upload the marriage certificate as proof. In the correction form tick 'Name' and enter the new surname. Update the surname in Aadhaar first so that e-KYC passes cleanly.
PAN correction ki fees kitni hai? / What is the PAN correction fee in 2026?
Rs. 107 (taxes included) for an Indian address and Rs. 1,017 for a foreign address on Protean. Always confirm the current official fee on the portal before paying.
PAN correction ke liye kaunse documents chahiye? / What documents are needed for PAN correction?
Your existing PAN, Aadhaar (with the corrected details), and a specific proof for the field you're changing — marriage certificate for surname, gazette notification for a legal name change, birth certificate or 10th mark sheet for DOB. Only the field you correct needs proof.
PAN correction kitne din mein hota hai? / How long does PAN correction take?
After a successful e-KYC, the corrected physical PAN typically reaches you in about 15 working days. The updated e-PAN can be downloaded immediately from the Income Tax portal or Protean.
Aadhaar aur PAN ka data match nahi karta to kya kare? / What if Aadhaar and PAN data don't match?
Fix your Aadhaar first at UIDAI. Then use Aadhaar-based e-KYC to update PAN — this auto-matches the data and you don't need to post anything.
Can NRIs correct their Indian PAN details from abroad?
Yes. Use the Protean correction portal, select 'foreign address' delivery (fee about Rs. 1,017), attach a passport-size photo + proof of the field being corrected, and complete e-Sign / physical courier of documents as per the option shown.
