Quick Summary
A user mistakenly entered the wrong name on an Income Tax Return (ITR) for assessment year 2021-22, though the PAN number is correct. They are concerned this error might lead to rejection of their home loan application. While the correct PAN is a good sign, banks may ask for clarification due to the name discrepancy. It's advisable to inform the lender and provide supporting documents. Rectifying the ITR via a Section 154 request is possible but may not cover simple name errors, so consulting a tax professional is recommended.

Pls post screenshot while filing.
otherwise it is impossible.

When you fix the name while registering the taxpayer, then how is this possible? Even if you filled in the updated return, you were downloading the json file & at that time the name & the pan no. & all other details were already prefilled.  

If the PAN number mentioned in the income tax return and the acknowledgement is correct, then it should not cause any major issue while processing the home loan application. The bank or financial institution may verify the PAN details and match them with their records to ensure that the loan applicant has filed their income tax returns and has no outstanding tax liabilities.

However, in case there is any discrepancy in the name mentioned in the income tax return and the name mentioned on the loan application or any other document, the bank or financial institution may ask for clarification and proof of identity to ensure that the loan applicant is the same person as mentioned in the income tax return. It is advisable to inform the bank or financial institution of the mistake in the name mentioned in the income tax return and provide them with the correct details along with supporting documents to avoid any delays or rejections in the loan application process.

In case you wish to rectify the name mistake in the income tax return, you can file a rectification request under Section 154 of the Income Tax Act, 1961 within four years from the end of the relevant assessment year. However, rectification requests can only be filed for mistakes apparent from the record and the mistake in name may not be considered as an apparent mistake. It is advisable to consult a qualified chartered accountant or tax expert for further guidance in this matter. To know more about ITR.
