How long will it take for the PAN card name to change?
The Pan Card is a 10-digit alphanumeric number that serves as an identification proof for income taxpayers. In addition, the PAN card can be used as proof of identity and address. It also allows individuals and businesses to digitally transact with the government and financial institutions without having to submit physical documents.
Online application on the NSDL site.
The most convenient way to change your name on the PAN card is to apply for it online. The application on the NSDL site is easy and convenient and can be completed within a few minutes. It’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so you don’t have to worry about missing out on this opportunity.
Online applications are cheaper than offline ones as well: if you make an offline application through SBI or UTI, you’ll have to pay Rs 100 for each change; if you do it online through NSDL, though, there will be no charges at all! Finally – because of their digital nature – online applications also tend to be faster than similar offline processes (by post).
Offline application form fills up and submission of documents at PAN card agent.
Online:
- Fill up the form.
- Submit the form with documents to the PAN card agent.
- The agent will submit the form to the Income Tax Department.
Offline:
- Please fill up the application form and submit it with documents at the PAN card agent’s office or any nearby post office in India.
- Pay Rs25/- as a processing fee for submitting your application to Income Tax Department by cash or cheque (only Indian postal order is accepted).
Affidavit to be submitted for the name change.
An affidavit is a legal document that an individual has signed under oath. The affidavit contains information regarding the facts of the case and is considered a sworn statement, which can be used as evidence in court.
An affidavit should be written in the first person (‘I’) and freely without any coercion or pressure from third parties. It should state facts that are true to the best of your knowledge so that later you cannot contradict your statements made in an affidavit when presented with them at trial or deposition.
After submission of documents, a new PAN card will be issued by the Income Tax Department.
After submission of documents, a new PAN card will be issued by the Income Tax Department.
The application form and all the supporting documents have to be submitted to the Income Tax Department through offline mode. This is because you cannot make an online application for a change in name on your PAN card. The Income Tax Department will verify all the documents you submit before issuing a new PAN card with your new name. If all your documents are found genuine, then within a week or so, you will get a call from them saying that they have changed your name on their database as well as on their database of cards that have been issued earlier to you (if any). Your new PAN card will reach you by post within ten working days from the date when this information is updated in their system by them!
