The Home Office-based Address Correction Service (HOF-ACS) in the Aadhaar Portal is a facility that allows Aadhaar card holders to update their address in the Aadhaar database without visiting the Aadhaar Enrolment Centre in person.

The service allows users to update their demographic information such as name, gender, date of birth, address, and mobile number by submitting supporting documents online. Once the documents have been verified by the UIDAI, the updated address will be reflected in the Aadhaar database.

What’s the link between an aadhaar and PAN Card?

The link between Aadhaar and PAN cards is established through the process of Aadhaar-PAN linking. This process is done to link the Permanent Account Number (PAN) with the Aadhaar number.

This helps in verifying the identity of an individual as well as in keeping track of their financial transactions. This linking is also required for filing taxes, applying for loans or credit cards, and other activities.

Inoperative PAN Card

An inoperative PAN Card is a PAN card that is not in active use. The PAN Card may have been issued but the PAN Card holder has not used it to make any transactions or link the PAN Card to their Aadhaar Card.

An inoperative PAN Card will have to be activated by the PAN Card holder in order to be able to use it for any transactions. The PAN Cardholder can do this by linking the PAN Card to their Aadhaar Card and providing other necessary documents as required.
