PAN card correction online free of cost
There is no option to make corrections to your PAN card online for free of cost in India. The process of PAN card correction requires a fee to be paid. The fee amount depends on the type of application and mode of payment. The fee can be paid online by using credit/debit cards or net banking.
However, if you find that the mistakes in the PAN card are made by the IT department, then you can contact the IT department and explain the issue. They may waive the fee in such cases.
It’s important to double-check the details on the form before submitting the application, to avoid any errors. It’s recommended to keep copies of the proof of documents submitted for corrections in case of future reference.
