PAN Card Update Overview

April 2026 PAN Update

• New PAN applications: Forms 93, 94, 95 and 96 are used for fresh PAN allotments based on the applicant's citizenship and entity status.
• PAN corrections: Existing individual PAN holders use PAN CR-01, while non-individual PAN holders use PAN CR-02 for changes or corrections in PAN data.
• Existing PAN remains valid: The introduction of the new forms does not change existing PAN numbers.
• Pending applications: PAN allotment applications pending on 31 March 2026 remain valid and do not require a fresh application under the new rules.

Why You cannot Update PAN Details through the Income Tax e-Filing Portal?

Many applicants incorrectly assume that PAN corrections can be completed directly through the Income Tax e-Filing portal. However, the portal has strict operational limitations. The instant e-PAN facility available on the Income Tax portal is primarily meant for fresh PAN allotments.

PAN profile corrections, demographic updates and reprint requests cannot be processed directly through the Income Tax e-Filing portal.

NSDL vs UTIITSL for PAN Card Correction

The Government of India has authorised only two entities for PAN card correction and PAN update services — Protean eGov Technologies Limited (formerly NSDL e-Gov) and UTI Infrastructure Technology And Services Limited (UTIITSL).

Documents Required to Change PAN Card Details

Under the revised PAN correction rules effective from 1 April 2026, applicants must submit valid proof of identity, address and date of birth documents for demographic corrections and updates. Aadhaar alone may not be sufficient for date of birth verification in certain correction cases.

II. For Foreign Citizens, OCIs, and PIO Cardholders

III. For Entities Owning Office in India

The PAN card correction fee depends on the submission mode and whether you require a physical PAN card or only an e-PAN. A no-change PAN reprint is available through a separate reprint facility and costs ₹50 for an Indian communication address and ₹959 for a foreign communication address.
