PAN Card is a very vital piece of document which identifies you as a Tax Payer in India. You may need to apply for or request for updating your personal details associated with your PAN Card from time to time for any one or more of the following reasons:
1. You do not have a PAN Card and want to apply for one.
2. You have relocated to a different city and hence your residential address has changed. It is important to have your PAN card updated with your current address because any IT refund sent via cheque is always sent to the address updated against the PAN unless you submit an Indemnity Bond.
3. You lost your PAN card and want to have a duplicate reissued.
4. Your PAN card is damaged and you want to have a new one reprinted.
You will be pleasantly surprised to know that you can do all this online now. Visit the following site: Application for PAN through Online Services
