You can find your name and Date of Birth (DOB) as per your PAN card by checking your PAN card and Income Tax Department (ITD) records.
Your name and DOB on your PAN card may differ from your name and DOB on the Income Tax Department (ITD). When you update your name and DOB with Zerodha, you must ensure that you enter your name and DOB as they appear on your PAN card or ITD.
Example scenario
Name on PAN card:
Sharath Suresh
Name on ITD:
Suresh Sharath
The client must enter the name as per the PAN card or ITD in the same order. However, the name cannot be entered as Sharath S or Suresh S.
How to find your name and DOB as per ITD
- Log in to incometax.gov.in/iec/foportal.
- Click on your name.
- Click on My Profile.
