13 February 2015 No New PAN. You need to apply for correction in PAN Data. PAN will remain same. 5th alphabet of PAN will remain as before. For this very reason in many cases you will find that 5th Alphabet is not matching with the 1st Alphabet of name of the company.

13 February 2015 Apply for PAN Correction data with a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation with new name. Again confirmation mail will be received. You have to send the confirmation for getting the name changed.Generally it takes 2 to 3 weeks time.

Attach the revised name certificate from ROC in correction form and get a new pan card with old pan,
