While filing Income Tax Returns (ITR), the Income Tax Department (ITD) uses data from the PAN Card to pre-fill certain details in the ITR forms. The address of the applicant is not mentioned on the PAN card, however, it is kept in the records of the Income Tax Department (ITD) who issues the PAN card. Additionally, the PAN card can also be used as a valid proof of identity. Thus, any incorrect information on the PAN card can lead to problems in the future. Moreover, if the PAN card was issued from the UTIITSL portal, then the applicant has to file an application on the UTIITSL portal to update the address on 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.
