Either you should follow the laws completely or do not follow at all. In between is not allowed.
Changing the name of existing PANCARD is very tedious procedure.It has to be certified by a GAZETTED OFFICER.
So if you are filing ITR in the name of your wife or you are that person than you should first cancel earlier PANCARD and apply for fresh with new name of married status and keep records of both.

It is choice.
You can apply online for any change in the PAN card, pay the fee required, followed by forwarding of hard copy with documents.

It is not allowed.
Those suggesting otherwise please give exact case where it is done on line.
Or even simpler method is let the person follow it and inform us whether it is possible for many many others to benefit.

It is not necessary, legally or otherwise, that a lady should change her surname after marriage.
After all, there are no laws in force as to name. It is all a matter of usage/personal choice.

I agree with expert Mr.Venu's opinion and views on the subject issue. There is no law in the country that a woman has to compulsorily change her maiden name after her marriage. Therefore what is in practice cannot become a rule, once there is no hard and fast rule about it, what is your concern about it?
