When Do You Receive This Notice?
PAN correction for name, DOB, or other details is issued by the Assessing Officer / CPC when Section 139A provisions are triggered. You must respond within the time specified in the notice — failure to respond can result in best judgment assessment, penalty, and prosecution.
Draft Reply
Process: PAN correction is done online through NSDL (protean) or UTIITSL websites. No template needed — online form with document upload. Key corrections: (a) name (as per Aadhaar/passport), (b) date of birth, (c) father's name, (d) address, (e) photograph, (f) signature.
Documents: identity proof, address proof, DOB proof (as per changed details). Fee: Rs. 110 + GST (Indian address) / Rs. 1,020 + GST (foreign address).
Key Compliance Notes
Key: If PAN and Aadhaar name don't match: correct either PAN or Aadhaar to match. Mismatched PAN-Aadhaar causes linking failure. If PAN is inoperative (due to non-linking): link first, then correct if needed. Multiple PANs: surrender extra PAN through same correction form.
