PAN Card Update: In today’s world, a PAN card is no longer just for filing taxes; it’s an essential document. Whether it’s opening a bank account, taking out a loan, or completing KYC (Know Your Customer) procedures, a PAN card is required in all cases. In Uttar Pradesh, obtaining a PAN card is now mandatory for buying land, houses, or any other immovable property. The Registry Department has issued a new order in this regard.
The government’s instructions have been sent to all district registry offices. Officials have been instructed to enter the PAN numbers of both the buyer and the seller in the online application related to property registration. Making PAN mandatory will ensure that every transaction is tracked accurately. Therefore, if the date of birth recorded on your PAN card is incorrect, you will not be able to buy property in Uttar Pradesh. It is not advisable to take this mistake lightly; get your date of birth corrected as soon as possible.
Officials say that this new rule will make the process of buying and selling property more transparent. This rule will be applicable throughout the state, and all registry offices have been instructed to strictly adhere to it. If a person wants to buy land or a house, they will have to provide their PAN card details at the time of registration.
An incorrect DOB can cause problems
If the date of birth on your PAN card is incorrect, the first problem you will face is during KYC verification. If the PAN information does not match other documents such as Aadhaar, passport, or driving license, your verification will fail. In banking and investment activities, there is a risk that your application will be rejected due to a data mismatch.
How to correct an incorrect DOB?
To correct the date of birth on your PAN card, you will first need to visit the official website of Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL. Here, you can apply online through the ‘Changes or Correction in existing PAN Data’ option. This process requires documents with the correct date of birth, such as an Aadhaar card, birth certificate, or 10th-grade mark sheet.
First, go to the relevant website and select the application type.
Then, fill in your PAN number, name, and other necessary information.
Tick the box next to the date of birth column and enter the correct date. Next, upload the supporting documents and pay the prescribed fee.
After submitting the form, you will receive an acknowledgement number to track the application status.
Ignoring an incorrect date of birth on your PAN card can cause you significant problems later on. Therefore, it is wise to get it corrected as soon as you notice the error. A PAN card makes your life easier.
