To make the process of PAN Card correction easy, the Income Tax Department now allows for online address updates. You can change the address linked to your PAN Card online using the following simple steps:

Alternatively, if you want to update your PAN to a different address, you can visit the NSDL (now Protean) website to register for PAN Card correction. You can upload supporting documents bearing the new address to update the same on your PAN Card. For the offline route, you can also fill up PAN Card correction form 49A and submit the same at the nearest NSDL centre. 

How to Check PAN Card Correction Status

Checking your PAN Card correction status is extremely easy, once you have received the 15-digit acknowledgement number post submission of the form. However, if you have filed the application through UTIITSL, you will require the application coupon number.

  • You can check the status on both the NSDL and UTIITSL portals. 

  • Head to either website and navigate to the ‘Track PAN Card’ option. 

  • You will be directed to a window. If you are using NSDL, you will be required to submit your acknowledgement number at this point, but if you are using UTIITSL, you will be required to submit your application coupon number.

  • You might be required to submit other details, such as your PAN.

  • Click ‘Submit’ after entering all the required details, and the screen will display the PAN Card’s status.
