South Indian names and titles
P V SASEENDRAN
(Querist) 24 January 2011
This query is : Resolved
Sir,
My name is P.V. Saseendran and I was born and bought up in Kerala. In my name “P.V.” is my House/family name and the given name is “Saseendran”. I have not been using any title after my name. If I was using my title, then it should read as “P.V. Saseendran Nair”. In my school records my name was written as “Saseendran P.V.” or “Saseendran Puthiya Veetil”.
Ever since I shifted my residence to Kolkata, about 30 years back, I am known as “P.V. Saseendran” as despite my writing my name as “Saseendran P.V.”, in all correspondence and applications with respect to employment, Bank account opening and/or Post Office accounts, the concerned offices (whether it was employer, Bank or Post Office) invariably written my name as “P.V. Saseendran” in all records.
In my application for allotment of PAN card, I had given my name as “SASEENDRAN PUTHIYA VEETIL” and requested to mention the name in the card as “P.V. SASEENDRAN” and accordingly, it was issued as “P.V. SASEENDRAN”.
Now I have shifted my residence to a new premises and requested through NSDL to note my change of address in the PAN card and to issue a new card in my name as “P.V. SASEENDRAN”.
My application was rejected by NSDL saying that my name does not tallying with the address proof provided with the application. As indicated above, all my records are in the name of “P.V. Saseendran” only. My Employment, Bank accounts, Post office accounts, insurance, etc. are in the name of “P.V. Saseendran”. I had cited the examples of the some of the well known personalities like Sri K.R. Narayanan (Ex-President), Sri M K Narayanan (West Bengal Governor), etc.
I have also sent a notorised copy of affidavit confirming that “P.V. Saseendran” and “Saseendran P.V.” and “Saseendran Puthiya Veetil” and “Puthiya Veetil Saseendran” are one and same person and that I am known as “P.V. Saseendran”. Still my application was rejected by NSDL.
Can you please guide me as to how I should proceed now.
Thanks,
P.V. Saseendran

Normally the PAN card will be issued in the name which is shown in the Bank account and address proof. If your school records shows a different name, you can file an affidavit as you said.
But in your case, you are asking for a change of address in the PAN Card. Normally the change of address for a PAN card is not necessary. I dont think the PAN Card bears the address of the person.

PAN Card does not bear the address of the person. You need not request for change in address in the records of IT as they can track the returns by PAN Number. Even there is a change in the address, your returns should contain the present address and your name should shown as shown in the PAN CARD.

Just inform about the change of address
that is enough
