Name Change in PAN Card in Tripura
PAN is the second record you update after a name change, straight after Aadhaar and before the bank, because the income tax portal, your bank's KYC and your employer's TDS all read the two together. The good news for a Tripura resident is that nothing about it needs a visit: the correction is filed online on Protean or UTIITSL, the proof is the Gazette, the marriage certificate or a document with the right spelling, your ten-character PAN stays exactly the same, and a corrected e-PAN arrives in days. This page gives you the order, the proof for each case, the Aadhaar e-KYC shortcut, the fee, the timelines and the father's name field.
To change your name in PAN in Tripura, update Aadhaar first, then open the change or correction service on Protean or UTIITSL, tick the name field, enter the new name exactly as on Aadhaar, and either use Aadhaar e-KYC or upload the proof: the Gazette for a change of name, the marriage certificate for a surname after marriage, or any accepted document for a spelling slip. Pay the fee, e-sign, and track the acknowledgement. The PAN number stays the same; the e-PAN commonly arrives in 2 to 3 days.
PAN name change at a glance
- Order
- Aadhaar first, PAN second, then bank, passport and the rest
- Where
- Online on Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL; a PAN centre in Agartala for paper
- The form
- Changes or correction in existing PAN data; the portal serves the current form, which was renumbered in 2026
- Change of name
- Gazette notification
- Surname after marriage
- Marriage certificate; a Gazette only if the given name changes too
- Spelling slip
- Any accepted document with the right spelling: Aadhaar, passport, voter ID, driving licence
- Shortcut
- Aadhaar e-KYC with OTP, once Aadhaar already carries the new name; no upload, no courier
- Fee
- Commonly Rs 107 with GST for a physical card to an Indian address; lower for e-PAN only; revised by the providers
- Time
- e-PAN commonly 2 to 3 days after verification; the card 10 to 15 days by post
- Number
- Unchanged; the same PAN, new name printed against it
Key takeaways
- Do Aadhaar first. The fastest PAN route is Aadhaar e-KYC, and it only works when Aadhaar already shows the new name; PAN before Aadhaar just creates a new mismatch.
- Your PAN does not change. Nothing about a name correction touches the ten characters; only the printed name moves.
- The proof follows the case: Gazette for a change, marriage certificate for a married surname, any document with the right spelling for a slip. A wedding card or an affidavit alone is not proof.
- Type the name exactly as Aadhaar prints it, letter for letter, in the given-name and surname boxes; the income tax portal will compare the two.
- You can correct the father's name in the same request on the same proof; it is a separate tick box, not a separate application.
- After the e-PAN arrives, re-link PAN and Aadhaar on the e-filing portal and update the profile there; the bank reads the corrected PAN next.
Why a PAN name change comes after Aadhaar in Tripura
PAN and Aadhaar are linked, and the income tax portal compares the two names. If PAN is corrected before Aadhaar, the link breaks in the other direction and every later office sees a mismatch again. Correcting Aadhaar first also unlocks the paperless route: with Aadhaar in the new name, Protean and UTIITSL can verify you by Aadhaar OTP and pull the name from UIDAI, so nothing is uploaded or posted. The Aadhaar step is on name change in Aadhaar card; the order of every document after the Gazette is on what to do after the Gazette.
Which proof a PAN name change needs, case by case
| Case | Proof | Gazette? | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spelling slip: Debbarma printed as Debbarme | Aadhaar, passport, voter ID or driving licence with the right spelling | No | Aadhaar e-KYC does it in one step once Aadhaar is right |
| Surname added or changed after marriage | Marriage certificate; spouse's passport if held | No | Not a wedding invitation |
| Given name changed, with or without marriage | Gazette notification | Yes | Printed Part IV page uploaded |
| Different name for any other reason | Gazette notification | Yes | Same |
| Maiden name back after divorce | Decree; Gazette where the provider asks | Often | Decree alone is accepted by some processors |
| Name after adoption, minor | Adoption order and fresh birth certificate | No | Parent applies as representative |
The document must show the name exactly as you are asking PAN to print it. Where it shows the old and new names together, as a marriage certificate or a Gazette does, the processor links the two; where it shows only the new name, keep the old PAN card handy as the old-name record. The Gazette from Tripura is on Gazette name change in Tripura; the marriage case is on PAN card name change after marriage.
Protean or UTIITSL for a PAN name change, and the correction form
| Protean (formerly NSDL e-Gov) | UTIITSL | |
|---|---|---|
| Service to pick | Changes or correction in existing PAN data | Change or correction in PAN card |
| Which one | Either processes any PAN; the one printed on the back of your card is usually a little faster | |
| Modes | Aadhaar e-KYC with e-sign; scanned or DigiLocker documents with e-sign; documents with a digital signature; or physical, where the signed acknowledgement is posted | |
| The form | The portal serves the current correction form; the paper form was renumbered in 2026 under the new Income-tax Act, so do not hunt for an old form name | |
| Output | e-PAN by email, then the card by post, both with the same PAN | |
The Aadhaar e-KYC shortcut for a PAN name change
When Aadhaar already carries the new name, choose the Aadhaar-based e-KYC and e-sign mode. The portal sends an OTP to the Aadhaar-linked mobile, pulls your name, photograph, date of birth and address from UIDAI, and fills the form; a second OTP e-signs it. No document is uploaded, nothing is couriered, and the name on PAN becomes the name on Aadhaar, letter for letter, which is exactly what the income tax link wants. This is why the order matters: the shortcut exists only after Aadhaar is done. For a change of name where Aadhaar is not yet updated, use the document-upload mode with the Gazette instead, and accept that Aadhaar and PAN will need matching later.
PAN name change online from Tripura, step by step
Aadhaar done
e-Aadhaar downloaded in the new name.
Open the correction service
Protean or UTIITSL; individual; enter the existing PAN; save the token.
Tick name; type it as Aadhaar prints it
Given name and surname in their boxes; father's name too if it needs fixing.
Choose the mode
Aadhaar e-KYC if Aadhaar is updated; otherwise upload the Gazette, certificate or corrected document.
Pay and e-sign
Fee online; OTP e-sign; download the acknowledgement.
Track, then link
e-PAN by email in 2 to 3 days; card in 10 to 15; re-check the Aadhaar link on e-filing.
PAN name change on paper from a PAN centre in Tripura
If you prefer paper, or the online e-sign fails, the same correction form is filed at a PAN facilitation centre: UTIITSL's counter in Agartala opposite the court on Ronald Say Road, and the Protean and UTIITSL agent centres in the district towns. You carry the filled form, a photograph, self-attested copies of identity, address and date-of-birth proof, and the name-change proof, pay the fee at the counter, and receive a 15-digit acknowledgement to track. The originals are shown, not surrendered. Online is faster from anywhere in the state; the counter is for the case the portal will not take.
Father's name and other fields on a PAN correction
The correction form has a tick box for every printed field: name, father's name, date of birth, photograph, signature and the address on record. Tick each one you need in the same request; one fee covers all. The father's name is corrected on a document that shows it correctly, usually your Aadhaar with the care-of line, a marksheet or the birth certificate; a Gazette never changes a father's name. A married woman keeps her father's name in that field unless she chooses otherwise; PAN does not switch it to the husband's. The father's name cases across documents are on the father's name pillar of this site.
What a PAN name change costs from Tripura
| Item | Amount | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Correction with a physical card, Indian address | Commonly Rs 107 including GST | Revised by the providers; the portal shows the figure at payment |
| Correction with e-PAN only | Lower; commonly under Rs 75 | Where offered |
| Card to a foreign address | Commonly around Rs 1,000 | For NRIs |
| Gazette, only for a change of name | Commonly Rs 1,100 adult, Rs 1,700 minor, revised each financial year | Paid earlier on BharatKosh |
| Our service charge | None for a plain correction; the Gazette service where a change needs it | Separate line, quoted first |
Gazette stage fees are on time, fees and rejection reasons; packages on the services page. The screen-by-screen walkthrough, documents and fee are on PAN card name correction online.
After the corrected PAN: e-filing, bank and employer
| Record | What to do |
|---|---|
| Income tax e-filing portal | Log in, refresh the profile from PAN, confirm the Aadhaar link shows the same name |
| Bank | KYC update with the corrected PAN and Aadhaar, and a request letter to the branch; the bank pages of this site cover the letter, and the Agartala branches are on name change in Agartala |
| Employer and EPFO | HR record and the EPFO joint declaration, so TDS and PF credit under the new name |
| Demat, mutual funds, insurance | KYC modification with PAN and Aadhaar |
| Passport | PSK Agartala re-issue; PAN is not asked for but consistency avoids questions |
If a PAN name correction is rejected
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| Name typed differs from the proof or from Aadhaar | Reapply with the name letter for letter as the document prints it |
| Proof does not show the change | A document that links old and new: marriage certificate, Gazette, or the old card alongside the new-name document |
| Aadhaar e-KYC failed | Aadhaar not yet updated or mobile not linked; fix Aadhaar, or use document upload |
| Signed acknowledgement not received in the physical mode | Post it within the window, or use an e-sign mode |
| Photograph or signature rejected | Reupload to the specification |
A mismatch that remains between PAN and Aadhaar after the correction is handled on name mismatch between Aadhaar and other documents; the PAN-Aadhaar linking failure is on PAN and Aadhaar name mismatch fix.

Central Gazette behind a PAN name change
PAN is a copying record. It takes a name from Aadhaar through e-KYC, or from a document you upload, and prints it on a card. It never decides that a name is yours. So a genuine change of name has to be established somewhere else first, and for a private individual in India that place is the Central Gazette: a notice published by the Government of India in Part IV of the Gazette of India, which every department in the country reads the same way.
When the Central Gazette is the answer
| Your situation | Why the Gazette is what works |
|---|---|
| The new name appears on no document you hold | There is nothing to upload, and e-KYC will only repeat Aadhaar |
| Your PAN, Aadhaar and bank records tell different stories | One published notice settles all of them together |
| You are changing a given name, not just a surname | Marriage papers cannot help, so the Gazette is the route |
| The income tax portal has refused your Aadhaar link | Fixing the name properly is cheaper than repeated attempts |
| You want the change to hold for investments and property too | Registrars and depositories accept a published notification |
What a Gazette file contains, step by step
A complete file is five items long, and each one is checked at the counter. Preparing them in the right order saves a return journey, because a paper signed in the wrong name has to be redone from the beginning.
| Step | What is prepared | The detail that matters |
|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | The affidavit | Non-judicial stamp paper, notarised in person, naming you, your father's or husband's name and your full address, and declaring the change from the old name to the new one. Below it sits a verification clause giving the place and date, signed again. A minor's affidavit also states the child's date of birth. |
| Step 2 | The two newspaper notices | One Bengali daily and one English daily, identical wording, and the complete original page of each saved with the masthead and date. Cuttings are not accepted. |
| Step 3 | The CD certificate | A short declaration that the CD matches the hard copy, that you take responsibility for any mismatch and for the CD's quality, and that the file on it is in MS Word format. It is a separate signed page, not a line inside the affidavit. |
| Step 4 | The request letter | Addressed to the Controller, Publication Department, Civil Line, Delhi 110054, stating that the formalities are complete and the documents are enclosed, and asking for publication. |
| Step 5 | The proforma in duplicate | The notice for Part IV, worded as the Department requires, signed in your existing old name, with two witnesses each giving signature, full name and address. Two copies go in, not one. |
The signature on the proforma trips up more files than any other item. You are declaring that the person formerly called the old name has changed it, so the signature is made in that old name, and the new name appears only in the body of the notice.
What the papers actually say
Here is what the page actually looks like. Everything in brackets is replaced with your own particulars, and nothing else changes.
The proforma, the page the Gazette prints
No. ADVT IV /

See the Gazette proforma format page for every paper in the file with its full wording. Our clients do not type any of this themselves; we draft it and match it to the affidavit line by line.
How we file it while you stay in Tripura
One office in India accepts these files: the Department of Publication at Civil Lines, behind the Delhi Vidhan Sabha Metro Station, Delhi 110054. Our head office in Delhi lodges yours over the counter, so a taxpayer in Agartala or Belonia does not travel for it. What you do locally in Tripura takes a morning: a notarised affidavit signed in person, and notices in one Bengali daily and one English daily with the same wording, with both complete original pages preserved.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Government fee | Commonly Rs 1,100 for an adult and Rs 1,700 for a minor, paid only on BharatKosh, non-refundable, and revised each financial year, so we confirm it on the day of filing |
| Our service charge | A separate figure, told to you before anything is paid; we never mix it into the Government fee |
| What goes in the file | The prescribed form in two copies, an undertaking, a request letter to the Controller of Publications, a soft copy of the notice, identity of you and a witness, two photographs, and both complete newspaper pages |
| Publication | Part IV of the Gazette of India, commonly 30 to 45 days after filing, and 3 to 7 weeks from start to finish |
| Your copy | A free PDF from egazette.gov.in, digital only since October 2015, needing no attestation and never expiring |

PAN and Gazette words, explained
A short glossary, so nothing on this page needs looking up.
- Central Gazette
- The Gazette of India, published by the Department of Publication at Civil Lines, Delhi. It is accepted in every office in India, including every office in Tripura, and by foreign missions.
- Part IV
- The section of the Gazette of India that carries notices from private people rather than from the Government. A personal name change appears here and nowhere else.
- Proforma
- The typed page that becomes your Gazette notice. It is filed in two identical copies, signed in your existing old name, and witnessed by two people.
- Affidavit
- A written statement you swear is true before a notary. For a name change it records your old name, your new name, your parent's or husband's name, your address and the reason.
- BharatKosh
- The Non-Tax Receipt Portal at bharatkosh.gov.in, the only accepted channel for the Central Gazette fee.
- Protean and UTIITSL
- The two service providers that accept PAN applications and corrections. Either can process any PAN, whichever appears on the back of your card.
- Inoperative PAN
- A PAN that has not been linked to Aadhaar. No return can be filed, refunds are held and tax is deducted at a higher rate until the link is made.
- e-KYC
- Electronic verification through Aadhaar with an OTP on the registered mobile. Portals use it to pull your name rather than let you type it.
- UIDAI
- The Unique Identification Authority of India, which issues and updates Aadhaar. It accepts documents rather than declarations when a name is being changed.
- CD certificate
- A signed page declaring that the soft copy and the hard copy of your notice carry the same matter, that you are responsible for any mismatch and for the quality of the CD, and that the file is in MS Word format.
- Newspaper notice
- The same wording published in one Bengali daily and one English daily circulating in Tripura. The complete original page of each is kept, because a cutting is refused.
- One and the same person affidavit
- A short sworn statement that two named records belong to one person. Banks, colleges and employers usually accept it; UIDAI, boards, passport counters and recruitment panels do not.
