A PAN card is essential for financial and tax activities. If there’s an error in your details (name, date of birth, address) or if you need updates, you can easily apply for corrections through the government.

This can be done online via the official portals of Protean (formerly NSDL e-Gov) and UTIITSL. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of updating or correcting your PAN card information.
