When PAN and Aadhaar names differ, linking, tax refunds and KYC all stall. Here's how to fix the root cause.
PAN–Aadhaar linking and much of your financial life depend on the two names matching. When your PAN shows one form of your name and Aadhaar another — an expanded initial here, a different surname there — the systems flag a mismatch and linking, refunds and KYC fail.
See our PAN name change and Aadhaar name correction pages for how each update works — the Income Tax Department and UIDAI each decide their own updates.
Share your situation and we'll tell you honestly what's needed to fix it — and whether a Gazette is even required. No pressure, no obligation.

Changing your name? We publish it in the Gujarat Gazette, start to finish — ₹3,000 all-inclusive (Express ₹5,500), published within 60 working days or a 100% refund.
Normal plan: your published Gujarat Gazette within 60 working days. Express: within 30 working days — counted from the working day after full payment is received and your application number is generated, and we confirm your exact end date in writing. Working days are days the Gazette Department, Rajkot is open; Sundays, 2nd and 4th Saturdays and Government of Gujarat public holidays are not counted. If we miss your window you get a 100% refund of your invoice within 24 hours — no deduction for the Government fee, e-stamp, notary or drafting — and we still deliver your Gazette at no further service charge.
