Common Grievances Associated with PAN
While grievances might vary from individual to individual, there are certain grievances which can be considered common to most, as highlighted below.
- Incorrect Name on PAN Card - It is possible, either due to human error or technical issues to have an incorrect or mismatched name on the PAN card. Reporting this is critical as a PAN card is an accepted ID proof across the country.
- PAN Card (Permanent Account Number) Not Received Even After Submitting the Application - There are chances for the PAN card to be misplaced or delivered to the wrong address. Failure to receive the information even after a few weeks should lead to reporting this.
- Permanent Account Number Received but Card Not Received - Delays can arise while posting the PAN card of an applicant and it is common for people to wait long periods to get their cards.
- Wrong Photo on PAN Card - A PAN card with the wrong photo would not serve its purpose as an identification tool.
- Returned Undelivered - There are chances for an applicant to miss the delivery of his/her PAN card, in which case it is returned to the authorities as undelivered. The relevant authority should be intimated in such cases.
- Other Mistakes - Some of the other grievances include wrongly spelt father's name, wrong communication address, date of birth, etc. All such mistakes should be duly brought to the notice of relevant authorities.
