How long does PAN correction take?+
Online PAN corrections through Protean (NSDL) or UTIITSL typically process in a couple of weeks.
Track it using the acknowledgement number you receive on submission.
Can I fix Aadhaar instead of PAN?+
Yes, you can correct either side. Usually it is easier to match PAN to Aadhaar, since more services check Aadhaar.
Whichever you change, both must end up identical.
Why did my bank account get frozen?+
Banks refresh KYC and freeze service when name or details do not tally across Aadhaar and PAN.
Fix the mismatch, then refresh your bank KYC manually to restore access.
