Online application for change requests

The PAN Change Request Form is for applicants who need to make changes or corrections to their PAN data. This includes alterations to names, addresses, dates of birth, and other pertinent information.

To apply for a change or correction in PAN Card details, applicants can download a blank Change/Correction Request Form (PDF) from the UTIITSL website. This form can be used to apply for both physical and e-PAN cards. The fees for these are Rs.107/- for dispatch within India and Rs.1017/- for dispatch outside India.

For those who obtained an Instant ePAN from the Income Tax Department's e-filing portal, the Change Request application can be made through the eKYC mode from the UTIITSL portal.

The UMANG App also allows users to make corrections to their PAN Card.

Application fees

The application fee for a PAN card depends on the type of card and the dispatch location. For both a physical PAN card and an e-PAN card dispatched within India, the fee is Rs.107. If the dispatch location is outside India, the fee is Rs.1017.

If you only require an e-PAN card and do not need a physical card, the fee is Rs.72. The e-PAN card will be sent to the applicant's email address as per the records of the Income Tax Department.

It is important to note that the application fee is non-refundable, even if the application is rejected or if there is a failure in the authentication process. Therefore, applicants should ensure they meet all the requirements and have the necessary documentation before submitting their application and paying the fee.

The payment for the application can be made online through the payment gateway. The applicant will be redirected to the payment gateway after submitting their application. Once the payment is successful, the authentication process will begin. If the authentication is successful, the application will be processed further. However, if the authentication fails, an auto-refund will be processed for the application, and the applicant will have to submit a new application, either online or through physical mode.
