    Hello, this way does not seem to help. I’m trying to register my PAN and adhaar. But it gives me an error that name does not match name registered with income tax department for PAN and name/DoB/Gender does not match for Adhaar. But the issue is in all the documents the name is same but sequence is different eg. PAN – NAME SURNAME FATHERS NAME; ADHAAR CARD – NAME FATHERS NAME SURNAME and EPF ACCOUNT – NAME SURNAME. What is the best way to correct this?

    Dear Rajkumar,

    Dear Robin,

    Another Alternative is to visit EPFO with valid document proof for linking Aadhaar with UAN.

    November 20, 2017
  11. Raviraj Parekh

    You need to verify Gender given on UAN and Aadhaar before linking. It should be same.

    November 20, 2017
  12. Raviraj Parekh

    Best way is to change name in Aadhaar and UAN as PAN update will take more time and it will also cost you money.
