Quick Summary
This discussion addresses a common issue for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) where their PAN card name differs from their passport name due to legal surname changes, such as after marriage under Spanish law. The advice given is that filing an NRI tax return should not be problematic, provided the individual retains a copy of their old passport that matches the name on their PAN. This documentation can help clarify any discrepancies when travelling or filing.

As such no, provided she has a copy of old passport having the name as per PAN.
