🔴 The name on Aadhaar and PAN must exactly match the applicant’s full name.
Even a minor mismatch (like initials, extra spaces, spelling differences, or middle name variations) will result in rejection of the application.
✅ Example:
PAN Name: Ravi Kumar Sharma
Aadhaar Name: Ravi K Sharma → ❌ Application will be rejected
We assist in checking and correcting these mismatches before submission to avoid rejection and delay.
