Strict Document GuidelinesThe "Aadhaar-only" route for a new PAN has been discontinued. Aadhaar is NO LONGER proof of Date of Birth (DOB): While Aadhaar works for Identity and Address, you must now provide a separate document for DOB (e.g., Birth Certificate, Passport, Class 10 Certificate, or Driving License). Name Matching: The name on the PAN application must exactly match the Aadhaar database. Any minor spelling mismatch will result in immediate rejection.
