Top Reasons for PAN Card Rejection and How to Avoid in 2025

Application for a PAN card is a straightforward process that can be done offline or online. But, in a few instances, PAN card applications can get rejected due to flawed information. The authorities can also reject it due to incomplete or wrong submission of documents.

Hence, to know in detail about PAN card rejection, continue reading!

What Are the Reasons for PAN Card Rejection?

Authorities can reject your PAN card due to various reasons. A few reasons for rejection of PAN card might include the following:

A Discrepancy in PAN Application Form: You must fill out an application form if you are applying for a PAN. In most cases, the higher authority will reject your application if you provide any flawed information in the application form. For instance, you can face rejection if your name doesn't match the form and the identification document. So, it would help if you remembered to provide accurate details such as age, name, gender, date of birth, etc.
A Discrepancy in Submitted Documents: Besides the application form, the authorities also verify all documents submitted by an applicant. During verification, if provided documents do not match your details in the application form or if you submit flawed documents, then your application will get rejected.
Wrong Address: It is one of the primary reasons behind the rejection of a PAN application. If you are applying for a PAN, you must provide your PIN code in the address section, and if you fail to provide it, the authorities will reject your application.
Incorrect Signatures: You might need to sign a specific field in the PAN application form. However, signing in places outside the designated areas can lead to a rejection of the PAN application form.
Missing ISD or STD codes: Lastly, one vital point is to mention ISD or STD codes while writing the contact number. If you don't provide these codes, this might lead to rejecting the PAN card application.

How to Avoid PAN Card Rejection?

To avoid PAN card rejection, you can remember a few pointers:

You must prevent providing initials while filling out the form. This is because NSDL and UTIITSL don't accept initials.
Hindu Undivided Families should provide their full name. Organisations should write their names in full and must eschew short forms.

Hence, there are multiple reasons behind a PAN card rejection. So, to avoid it, you must abide by a few guidelines mentioned in the application form. Also, ensure you provide all necessary documents to support your documents, such as identification documents, age proof and address proof.
