Procedure to change your address on PAN card using Aadhaar | Fusion - WeRIndia

The Permanent Account Number (PAN) card is an essential document for conducting various financial transactions. However, carrying it around poses certain risks, including the possibility of losing it.

On the other hand, the Aadhaar card is a unique 12-digit identity number issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).

Serving as proof of identity and address, the Aadhaar card is widely accepted for numerous purposes, such as opening bank accounts, obtaining mobile connections, and applying for passports or driving licenses.

In the event that you need to update the residential address on your PAN card, whether due to a misspelling or a change of address, you can utilize your Aadhaar card to facilitate the process.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to update your PAN card address using your Aadhaar details:

• Begin by visiting the UTI Infrastructure Technology and Service Ltd (UTIITSL) portal.
• Locate and click on the option for changing or correcting information on your PAN card. Proceed to apply for the change/correction.
• Enter your PAN number and select the option to utilize the Aadhaar Base e-KYC Address Update feature, which fetches the necessary details from the UIDAI database for updating your PAN address.
• Provide all the required details, including your Aadhaar number, email ID, mobile number, and more. Once completed, click on submit.
• A One Time Password (OTP) will be sent to the mobile number and email address linked to your Aadhaar card.
• Enter the OTP received and submit it.
• With this, the process will be completed. That means you have successfully updated your residential address.
• After the successful completion of the update, you will receive an email and SMS notification on your registered email ID and phone number.

By following these steps, you can conveniently update your PAN card address using the details provided on your Aadhaar card. This process ensures accuracy and simplifies the task of keeping your essential documents up to date.

Rest assured that your financial transactions and other official activities will proceed smoothly with the correct address information reflected on your PAN card.
