Name change for a widow (Spanish law):
• Apply for a PAN correction (Form for "Changes or correction in PAN data") to update the name, with proof: the passport with the new name, and supporting documents (marriage or death certificate, and a document showing the name change under Spanish law, apostilled).
• NRIs can apply online through NSDL/UTIITSL with foreign address documents.
• Until updated, use the PAN with the old name, and keep the mapping documents for banks (KYC) and the ITR.
• The e-filing portal profile name follows PAN data.
