Yes, merging an old PAN (Permanent Account Number) with a new PAN in India is possible.
The process is called PAN Card correction or PAN Card name change. You can apply through our website and submit the necessary documents such as proof of identity and address.
Dual PAN Card Merge?
A dual PAN card is a situation where an individual or entity holds two Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards.
This is not allowed under Indian tax laws, and the possession of more than one PAN card is considered illegal. If an individual or entity is found to have multiple PAN cards, they may face penalties or fines.
If you have multiple PAN cards, you must surrender one to the Income Tax Department. It’s always a good idea to check the official website of the Income Tax Department of India for the most up-to-date information and guidance on the process.
