The Permanent Account Number (PAN) is one of the most important documents which is an identity proof. Therefore it is imperative that the information provided on the PAN card is correct or accurate. However, there are cases where the information printed on the PAN card is false or incorrect. In such cases, the applicants can apply for a change/correction in their PAN card through the UTIITSL portal.
There are many cases where individuals have more than one PAN. For instance, if an individual loses his/her PAN card and wants to reissue, but there are discrepancies in the address. In such cases to avoid the hassle involved in applying for re-issuance with an address change, sometimes a person may apply for a new one and end up having two PAN cards and thus has to surrender the duplicate PAN.

Hey @TeamQuicko, what is the minimum age required for getting a PAN card?
Hey @SonalYadav,
No - you cannot randomly select your AO code and type just based on the state. In TIN-NSDL PAN application you need to select AO based on the description provided on the AO in the Help utility for AO selection after you select State and City, as shown in the image below -
So once you select State and City - you’ll see a list of AO’s with different descriptions. Most common one - if you’re salaried with income below 20 lacs as seen in this example it will be WARD 7(1)(4) in Ahmedabad, as we chose Ahmedabad as the city for this example.
Similarly AOs will be different for Government sector employees, business owners, etc. Once you select that AO, AO type and code will automatically be filled in the respective fields of your application.
If you’re still confused regarding your AO, you’re best suited to get professional help for the same. Choose Quicko’s PAN Application Plan and have your PAN application handled by professionals in hassle free manner.
