PAN Card: PAN cards are required almost everywhere. They are required for jobs and for every financial endeavor. Furthermore, many important tasks now require a PAN card along with your Aadhaar card.

Let’s explore how you can change your name, address, and mobile number on your PAN card from the comfort of your home.
How to change name, address and date of birth?

What will be the punishment for making fake Aadhaar and PAN cards?
If someone makes a fake Aadhaar card, he may have to face 3 years of imprisonment and a fine of up to Rs 10,000, according to the official website of UIDAI. Along with this, if media reports are to be believed, making a fake PAN card can result in a fine of Rs 10,000 and imprisonment up to 6 months.
