Things to Remember for PAN Card Correction
Take care of the following while submitting the PAN card update form for corrections to be made to your PAN card:
Individual persons should not use abbreviations in their first and last names.
Non-individual legal entities like companies, partnerships or trusts should enter their full name as it is. For instance, if your company's name is 'ABC Computer Corporation Private Limited', fill up the complete name 'ABC Computer Corporation Private Limited' in the space that says last name/surname.
If the space on the first row is insufficient, you can continue the corporation or individual's name in the second row.
Make sure that there are no abbreviations in the company's name.
For individuals, if your PAN Card has an incorrect or unclear photograph or signature that needs to be corrected, you must submit your original PAN Card when you submit your acknowledgement.
