As we all aware that there are various circulars relating to PAN which are released by CBDT time to time. Therefore, today we are covering some of the important update related to PAN, which are as under:
1. Circular No: – NSDL/TIN/2010-339, May 22, 2010 – Acceptance of PAN applications – initials in the middle name.
Earlier, PAN applicants (individuals) are required to provide names (first name, middle name & last name) in expanded form in PAN applications submitted. Also, the supporting documents submitted as proof of identity and address should contain the applicant’s name in expanded form and as mentioned in the PAN application.
Income Tax Department (ITD) has now informed that PAN applications received from Individuals having initials (one single character) in the middle name (Applicant’s name, Applicant’s other name, Father’s Name, Representative Assessee’s name), may be accepted. Accordingly, the instructions for acceptance of PAN applications have been revised as below:
Initial (single character)
1. If the middle name of the abovementioned name fields contain one initial, then the application may be accepted provided they match exactly with the documents (proof of identity and proof of address) submitted by the applicant.
2. If the last name and/or first name part of the abovementioned name fields contain initial, then the application should be rejected.
It may be noted that the guidelines issued for acceptance of PAN applications having two character names, remain unchanged.
2. GUIDELINES – Allotment Of Instant PAN Through Aadhaar Based e-KYC
This facility is for allotment of Instant PAN (on near-real time basis) for those applicants who possess a valid Aadhaar number. PAN is issued in PDF format to applicants, which is free of cost.
The applicant is required to type in her/his valid Aadhaar number and submit the OTP generated on the registered mobile number. Once the process is complete, a 15-digit acknowledgment number is generated. Once request is submitted, the applicant can check the status of the request at any time by providing her/his valid Aadhaar number and on successful allotment can download the PAN. The applicant will also receive a copy of the PAN in the e-mail id registered with the Aadhaar database.
3. CBDT notifies Income Tax Rule 114AAA vide Notification No. 11/2020
CBDT notifies Income Tax Rule 114AAA prescribing that permanent account number (PAN) will become inoperative if a person, who has been allotted PAN as on the 1st day of July, 2017 and is required to intimate his Aadhaar number under section 139AA(2), has failed to intimate the same on or before the 31st day of March, 2020, the PAN of such person shall become inoperative immediately after the said date for the purposes of furnishing, intimating or quoting under the Income Tax Act.

Hii, My name in my documents is KR ARZOO and name on pan card is Aarzoo kumari. Now i want to do correction in my PAN bt KR is not accepting on pan bcz initials not allowed then what i will do. If my name is in abbreviate form and KR stands for kumari here. I know there is no abbreviated form of kumari bt this all done on my 10th marksheet. And all documents which i have same name KR ARZOO ,Now how i can change my name on pan card.
IT department should address this issue for full linking of PAN/AADHAR. This is the reason for lot of non linking of AADHAR/PAN
My name had single initial at last, pan card application isn’t accepting my initial, so what’s my solution?
Yes, my issues is also like this, i could not change my name, it is ends with with a single char initial.
Hi ,
is it necessary that 5th letter in PAN must match with lastname / firstname in Bank they rejected my Pan for this… pls can anyone give suggestion what to do with this problem.
This is absolute nonsense. I still cannot apply for PAN as my name starts with initials “Lh”. When I was registered to State Education Board, there was no PAN. So it put my name they was it has to be.
Looks like all of us are facing same issue. How about giving a representation via online petition to income tax authorities/finance ministry.
My Name is Sanjay Madhavrao Jadhav. My name on Pancard has initials ‘S M Jadhav’ where as on Adhar card it is in full ‘Sanjay Madhavrao Jadhav’. Now i am unable to make corrections either in Pan card or Adhar card. Useless people are sitting in govt. also my DOB in Adhar card is written in short date though I have submitted required documents at the time of making Adhar card. Person making Adhar card has made mistake by not filling date month and year on my adhar card. Now i am not able to change name as wel as DOB. Neither link adhar and pan card. All Useless and inefficient people are sitting over there.
My brother’s name is not getting PAN accepted. As his name is D.Arna in all doc’s it’s same but I can’t get the PAN from the same name. Can someone help here.
Let us be united who are not getting pan card due to Initial. Take our voice to finance ministry to change rules. There should be a simple rule whose document showing address, identity, date of birth and father name . They all should be issued PAN card. Or ministry should make pan as a optional document
It is meaning less,When we born there was no PAN, no Adar,and in all my documents its Name with initials,written before the name or after.Now if we made based on PAN,we have to change every where.Why can’t the PAN or Aadar people understand this.We South Indians are affected.Both PAN and Aadar should accept the name as we want,provided we produce documents to substantiate this .Southern Government a should take this forward.The FM being SI should know this more.
Yes same issue all south indians are facing including me
Sir,pls help me anyone
My name is Mohan Reddy C, in all documents including adhar card but in PAN card intial not alowing to make changes as per adharcard
My name is M.S.Sridhar wherein Sridhar is my name for all official purposes. The initials M and S stands for Madurai (which is name of native place) and Seetharaman (Father’s Name) respectively. In all my certificates and Aadhar Card, my name is mentioned simply as “M.S.Sridhar”. My PAN Card issued in 2003 also has the mention of M.S.Sridhar. However as I was trying for a Duplicate PAN Card in lieu of damaged PAN Card, the website/ Portal UTIITSL could not process my input of initials in the name and instead requested for expansion of my initials. This is ludicrous since I don’t have any documentary proof of my expanded name to be submitted for PAN Card reprinting. Income Tax Department should instead examine these difficulties as many South Indians like me, having two initials with their names, would also be in a tough situation to get their PAN Cards. The very purpose of allotment of PAN is to make matters simpler and convenient and not to cause hardship to citizens. Income Tax Department should consider this genuine issues in the right spirit and make changes in the online process to make it smooth and hassle free.
