What is PAN Card Correction Form (CSF)?

The 'Request for New PAN Card or/and Changes or Correction in PAN Data' form is used for two main purposes: to update/correct details in the Income Tax Department's database and to request a new physical PAN card (reprint) without changing any details.

Why is PAN Correction Needed?

Keeping your PAN details accurate is crucial for:

• ITR Filing: Mismatched details (like name or DOB) between PAN and Aadhaar can prevent successful ITR filing.
• Linking PAN with Aadhaar: It is mandatory to link PAN with Aadhaar, and this is only possible if demographic details match in both documents.
• Banking/KYC: Banks may reject KYC if details on PAN do not match your other official documents.
