How To Correct Errors In PAN And Aadhaar Details: A Step-by-step Guide
Last Updated: How you can rectify errors or mismatches found in your PAN and Aadhaar cards using the official websites launched by the Indian government. Linked with multiple banking facilities and government schemes, your Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Aadhaar Card are extremely important as an Indian citizen. While your PAN card is essential for tax identification, the Aadhaar is the official unique ID for residents to verify their eligibility for various government plans and welfare strategies. These critical documents must be error-proof, with any discrepancies likely to disrupt your tax and identity verification processes with the concerned authorities. When a PAN or an Aadhaar has mistakes, it confuses the banking and government agencies, potentially leading to questioning, audits or even financial penalties. Ensuring all your details on the PAN and Aadhaar are correct is key, as any error could pose legal hurdles to the citizen, based on transactions and document submissions for schemes and policies, as well as potential identity theft and online financial fraud. Even though PAN and Aadhaar mismatches and errors are a serious problem, resolving them is not much of a headache. You can easily make corrections for both online using the official websites launched by the Indian government.

Last Updated: Moscow, Jul 24 (PTI) There was 'no sign" of survivors after an aerial search of the crash site of a plane carrying 49 people in Russia's Far East, according to media reports. The Antonov An-24 turboprop aircraft crashed when it hit a forest-covered hill while making a second attempt to land at Tynda airport in Eastern Siberia. It had 43 passengers and six crew on board, the Governor of Amur Region, which is close to the Chinese border, said on his Telegram channel. No survivors were spotted during an aerial inspection of the site, the state-run TASS news agency reported, citing the regional civil defence and fire safety centre. 'According to the director of Tynda Airport, the plane caught fire upon impact, and a Mi-8 helicopter crew flying over the area reported no signs of survivors," it said. The 50-year-old aircraft belonging to regional Angara Airlines was flying on the Khabarovesk-Tynda-Blagoveschensk route, according to the governor. According to some experts quoted by Radio BFM, 'human error" in inclement weather could be a potential cause of the crash, while others blamed an engine problem. view comments First Published: July 24, 2025, 16:30 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
