Sir,
how can i get new Design pan card instated of my old pan card
I have applied correction father name in pan card.now it is my name as jayaraj harish and in rest of documents like aadhar ,bank account etc is Harish j is there need to correct again in pan card
Name change the PAN card please sir change my name
NAME NO AJAY KUMAR
FATHER s NAME SHER SINGH
My aadhar name suganyaa rajarajan but my pan card have name as “Rajarajan suganyaa” .is it correc or not?
No need to Panic , old designed valid PAN cards are valid .
My pan card has name as first name and third name . but aadhaar card contains initials of ffirst aname and third name in full. now what to do. I do not want to change the name in aadhaar card becuse bank name, LPG name etc are in initialized name
PAN Card represents Unique Number. Card is not important whether it is in old format or in different color. No need to apply for a new one. All the old cards including White Colored PAN Cards are still Valid. So, no Cut of date for new card etc..
Also, if any one is voluntarily seeking for new format of PAN card, can apply for the same.
Now Aadhar is Mandatory to obtaining the PAN & Filing of Income tax Return therefore i Suggest that AADHAR No. also be appeared on PAN
I applied for a pan card before 3 months but still I didn’t get it. why it take it too much delay?
Surprised to see Aadhar number is not incorporated. By my opinion, it is very important to link PAN with Aadhar number.

i want to get new pan 2017 model in liew of old.
what should i do can it be done online.
Why coloured PAN CARD is required?Photocopying is difficult.The PANcard plastic cover alwayws peels off.Old black&white PANcard with plastic sealed wrapping was nice ,durable & easy for photocopying.
There are people who don’t use their surname in the normal course, nor have a surname, many among them being prominent politicians. Many don’t add their father’s name, some have their father’s name as the first name or as the second name, particularly among some south Indians. We also have people who have four different words that together constitute their full names. There is thus no uniformity in describing one’s name in the country.
It is therefore necessary for the Govt. to make a provision for writing one’s name in three (or at most four) blocks, the way one wishes to record his name, such as First Name, Second Name and Third Name (may be a Fourth Name), without specifying a description such as Father’s Name (or Mother’s Name) and Surname. This uniform system should be adopted by all Govt. Depts. such as I-T, Passport, Aadhar, and other institutions to avoid confusion and problems in future, particularly while linking the Aadhar Card with other documents. It is high time the Govt. passed a rule to this effect for the sake of uniformity.
I understand that there is no need to get new pan card. Only fresh applicants will be issued new format panels card.
(i) Whether it is mandatory to get new-format cards for those who have Old laminated cards of 1999 in good condition?
(ii) If Govt of India makes it mandatory to change, it should be free of cost.
Plesae also incorporate address as we have submit two document as for address proof and date of birth. But if address is also mentioned in pan card , then only pan card will serve the purpose for both ie. date of birth and address proof
Hi
Whether it is required to update old PAN ?
if am updating the old PAN, How Much charge i suppose to pay ?
News Not giving clarity for these things…
Please Reply ASAP
Why don’t we wait for further notification from IT Dept regarding this old and new PAN cards usage and replacing the old one etc…..
I need the exact notification.
Please provide the notification link to download.
IS THE APPLICATION FOR NEW PAN CARD COMPULSARY FOR EVERY ONE????
News should have clarity. Secondly every one should be more particular that their current address if there is a change should file a correction form with proof of current address so it get corrected in the ITD data base. In all circumstances the PAN once allotted will remain the same. Just don’t look at the card, but see what are provided by you when obtaining the PAN CARD. If by chance TDS deducted then certificate will show the address as in the data base.
I have very old PAN card and needs replacement with new one . Advise the procedure and cost involves .
Adhar Card and Adhar Card +Passport holders should not be insisted for any other ld Cards. PAN number and any other additional particulars that may be required elsewhere for identification should be incorporated in the Adhar Card itself.
I am having PAN card of year around 1999 and it is in the old laminated form. In order to have latest photograph on PAN card so that it serves real purpose of ID, should the old PAN card be replaced ?
Kindly clarify the quantum of Transport Allowance exempted for Income Tax for who are drawing TA Rs. 800 + DA for TA Rs.1000/- amounting to the total amount of Rs.1800/- per month. Some of the DDOs are allowing only the Basic of TA Rs.800/- and not allowing DA on TA.
Some income tax authority is right platform to answer the point if all pan cards are to be renewed.
Whether Old PAN Card has to be replaced with NEW one OR same will be used. Simply put this as whether OLD PAN Card has been demolished.
If Aadhar card is valuable then what is importance of PAN Card ?????
Why to Card should be carry ???
UNIQ card for each and every Citizan shall be introduce i,e. Aaddhar***
I suppose there is no necessity for existing PAN card holders to replace their cards with new ones unless there is a loss of PAN card?
I do not think that old cards are to be exchanged with new cards.
Mr. Mayank Baxi:
U can file PAN Correction Form with NSDL/TIN Facilitation Centres. They will issue new PAN Card without changing ur PA Number (PAN).
ii includes what appeared in iii.

If one requires that the name of the holder should appear in a particular way say by way of initial for first name and second name then whether that would be possible in the new format and design?
It is ridiculous also for a senior citizen and an asseessee till date having his PAN Card since time it was introduced and provided free of cost that in case of ‘only’ address in his PAN data base though never appearing on the card and not requiring issue oof ‘duplicate’ one IS FORCED TO PAY as if it is a case of loss of PAN Card and issue of duplicate one.
pl clarify whether the existing PAN cards can be used in their present format or they are to be exchanged with new cards?
Do we need to apply for a new PAN card as a replacement for the existing PAN card ?
If I understand correctly, government has already accepted that in passport applications, father’s name is not mandatory. Then why in PAN card it is being insisted upon?
Lacks clarity. Old PAN cards also usable after the cut off date? Or should get exchanged for new ones?
What happens to the old design PAN Cards?
dear sir
what about existing PAN CARD? Is need to Replace ?
News lacks clarity. Old PAN Cards too usable? Or should syrrender old one and get afresh?
Old PAN cards are also usable after this cut off date? Or should the holders surrender the o9ld ones and get fresh ones? News lacks clarity.
What happens to existing PAN Cards?
Are the instructions for future i.e. to those issued after this circular?
Dear Team,
I am holding PANCARD since 1996,
How can i get this new PANCARD?
