Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how an NRI with British citizenship can correct spelling errors on their PAN card when it mismatches their passport and they don't have an Aadhaar card. The advice suggests correcting the name as per the passport or gazetted changes, visiting a UTI or Protean (NSDL) centre in India with original documents, or initiating the process online for address changes. It also highlights the mandatory linking of PAN with Aadhaar and the potential need for a gazette notification for name changes, which can take time.

Post originsl focuments.
Pls speak with protean help desk. They would help.

Please visit to your nearest UTI or Protean (NSDL). Though, They will guide you. I can share my experience when I dealt with. 

Firstly, you should correct your name as per your passport or your certificates on Gazzete.

Now days, Aadhaar should be connect with your PAN card as per Indian government rules.

You can make corrections of your residential address through online. For rest of the information, you should visit directly along with necessary documents. Or when you visit indian you start this process. But Gazzete process will take time to complete a month. Pan and new or  correction will take 15 days. Plan before you visit india.

Can't we proceed through UTISL portal?

A person with a valid passport. Yes you can correct your pan card spelling mistakes through online in correction form. Please submit more documents that prove your name and correct spelling such as your school or college transfer certificate, indian driving license, votor id so on.  Once you get your new pan card.

You should obtain aadhaar card which must be linked with your pan card. Unless, you didn't linked your Pan card with aadhaar. Your Pan will be inoperative. 

If you are plan to visit india, please schedule this process within your time limit. Please visit inperson, your nearest Banker, Post office and Aadhaar kendra, along with all documents. Don't forget to get acknowledgement from them.

It will take a week or 15 days to send your residential address. But, you can download from UDAI online portal. Then pay Rs.1000/- through income tax portal with PAN & Aadhaar. It will take 4 days to update such a penalty amount. Then you can link and your problem solved.

Thanks.
