This guide explains how to update PAN card from minor to major online, required documents, fees, and step by step filing process.
Why PAN Must Be Updated After Turning Major?
PAN is issued by the Income Tax Department and is used for tax and financial records. A minor PAN is valid, but it is not fully KYC ready for adult financial use.

If you still have minor Pan card then many institutions will ask for PAN correction.
