There are also times when the details given in the PAN card application form does not go with the documents furnished and thus the application gets rejected. Both individuals as well as combined entities such as organizations, agencies, trust, HUFs, etc. face problems of PAN card application rejection.

Also, the PAN card application rejection due to inconsistency in application form or documents can take place for online and offline PAN card applications. The base of rejection for any application form pursues the similar rules for both online platforms, i.e., NSDL and UTIITSL.

PAN Card Rejection Reasons:

Given below are some reasons why your PAN card application may get rejected and points that one should be wary when filling up the PAN card application form.

Many times, the documents that are delivered to the PAN department as identity or address proofs, are not printed evidently for the authorities to identify these as legitimate proofs. Also, there are times when, the documents that are necessary for identity proof are not provided and some other document is affixed. In these conditions, the application form for PAN is declined by NSDL or UTIITSL wherever the applicant has applied for PAN card.

There are some essential points which if remembered can help you ignore your PAN application rejected. Let us consider each of these points individually.

Try to avoid initials when writing your name in the PAN application form

The most significant rule is not to use initials when filling up your name in the PAN card application form. This one single point has been disturbing the biggest number of PAN applicants. As in a country like India, there are different societies that use initials in place of filling up the surname or the middle name. Now, the thing here is if you have been writing initials in all your identity proofs and have filled up the full name in the PAN card application form, then the two names would not go with and the application will get declined. On the different side, if you write your initials (as in different sustaining documents) then also the PAN application will get rejected as the PAN card database does not acknowledge initials in the name field. The best method to get on with this is to go to the PAN office and get this problem solved as of now; the uncertainty has not been resolute for online applications at NSDL and UTIITSL.

Hindu undivided families need to fill up their complete first, middle and last names. In case of organizations, the name should be written in full and all short forms should be removed.

Specify your PIN code in the PAN application form

Many people have a tendency to avoid filling up pin code when writing their address. As, PAN card is delivered by post, it is actually important for PAN card applicants to specify their PIN code on the application form. If you do not write a proper PIN code, the PAN card application will almost get declined.

Contact numbers should include ISD and STD codes

If you fill landline numbers in the PAN application form, then it should involve the ISD as well as STD codes. In the same way, mobile numbers should also include country codes. This makes it simple for the PAN card providing authorities to get in touch with PAN applicants in case the need takes place.
