PAN Correction & Reprint
Correct or reprint your PAN - with the new 2026 CR forms.
From 1 April 2026, PAN corrections use two new forms: PAN CR-01 for individuals and PAN CR-02 for non-individuals, notified under Rule 158(12). Use a correction to change name, date of birth or address; use a reprint to get a duplicate card with the same details.

What it is
PAN correction / reprint, explained in plain English.
A PAN correction changes data such as name, date of birth or address and reissues the card with the same PAN number, while a reprint reissues a duplicate card using the photograph and signature already on file. From 1 April 2026, corrections use Form PAN CR-01 (individuals) or PAN CR-02 (non-individuals) under Rule 158(12) of the Income-tax Rules 2026, and your details should match Aadhaar where applicable.
TL;DR
From 1 April 2026, correct PAN data using Form PAN CR-01 (individuals) or CR-02 (non-individuals). A correction changes data and keeps the same PAN; a reprint reissues the same card. To change a photo or signature you must file a correction, not a reprint.
