PAN Card Rejection - Reasons and Tips to Avoid It

The following are some main reasons for PAN Card rejection: 

1. Errors in the PAN Application Form

Form 49AA and Form 49A are the two varieties of PAN application forms. A candidate must carefully complete out both forms, which ask for important information. The applicant's name, date of birth, age, residence, email address, contact details, and other financial and personal data are among the necessary information. 

2. The Incorrect Signature

The PAN Card application form must be correctly signed by the applicant. The PAN Card application form may be denied if a signature is placed outside of the designated space. Additionally, candidates should employ signatures that correspond to those on other documents. 

3. Errors in Supplementary Documents

A PAN application will be rejected if supporting documentation, such as proof of address and identity, is submitted to the appropriate PAN department in error. 

Tips to Avoid PAN Card Rejection 

The following factors must be noted to prevent the PAN application form from being rejected further: 

1. The applicant's entire name must be entered by the Income Tax Department. A rejection would result from simply entering the initials in the name field. As a result, candidates should use extra care when entering their names on the form 

1. Candidates will need to sign in full in all required places. A PAN Card application may be denied if a signature is placed in an incorrect place. In addition, the signature must correspond with an official document. Also, a person's PAN Card application will be denied if their signature is replaced 

1. The PAN Card department allows applicants to fill out the form using only black ink. An application will be canceled if blue or colored ink is used when completing it or signing it 

1. When providing landline numbers on the application form, candidates are required to include their STD or ISD codes. When entering the mobile number, be careful to include the country code (91). Both the country code and the city code must be mentioned by NRIs living abroad 

1. A PAN Card rejection can be avoided by entering the right PIN code on the PAN application form. Additionally, do not forget to provide proof of address with your own name on it, not the names of your parents, siblings, or children. Make sure the address you gave on your application form and the address in the related documents match.
