I returned to India in 2016. While my Aadhar & Pan Card & linked bank accounts have my Indian Address, my 26AS statements still refer to my overseas address. How do I amend this? Thanks JA
Hello there, I managed to change the address to reflect my status & have received confirmed from NSDL. Thanks everyone! Rgds John

I have been allotted 2 PANs. Is it a crime to hold two PANs?
Please help me in canceling one PAN I am looking for a digital solution.
Hey @Joe_Fernandes ,
Yes, it is illegal for one individual to hold 2 PANs. If caught, Income Tax Department can take legal action or put a financial penalty.
But you can always surrender one PAN. There is a provision for surrendering PAN online using TIN-NSDL website.
You may fill and submit the PAN Change Request application form by mentioning the PAN which you are using currently on top of the form. All other PAN/s inadvertently allotted to you should be mentioned at item no. 11 of the form and the corresponding PAN card copy/s should be submitted for cancellation along with the form.
I am from Karnataka. I want to know the nearest PAN center from my home. My father is in Kerela and I want to know nearest PAN center from my native home too.
I know I can use GPS for that but the answers are not very accurate i have tried it before and you guys are so active and have helped me out so much before I thought you would be able to help me maybe.
Thanks in advance.

You can search PAN Application Centers through UTIITSL.

Do state governments ; central government ; union territory

How can I get e-pan as I don’t have a registered phone no and mail id? How can I register my mail and phone no. to my pan card and generate e-pan?
Hey @Joe_Fernandes ,
It is necessary to have registered both, the mobile number and the e-Mail address which can be done via change/correction PAN request application. Additionally, this facility is only available to users who have processed their latest application for a fresh PAN or for any change/correction in the PAN from the UTIITSL portal. You can download the e-PAN once the application process is complete.
