How to get your PAN card update
The permanent account number (PAN) card, issued by the income tax authorities, is now widely used in financial transactions and is the single most convenient proof for identity. So, it may be useful to keep the PAN card updated to reflect your current details. The tax information network (TIN), operated by the National Securities Depository Limited (NSDL), provides this service. This facility only allows you to update details such as photograph, address and signature, not the number itself. The PAN change request form is available online.
