A PAN Card cannot carry name exceeding 25 characters. Applicants with longer names should suitably abbreviate the name but without using any nickname or aliases.
For example: VIJAY SINGH CHAPLOT, can be abbreviated as VIJAY S CHAPLOT
If your name is not correct on PAN Card, you can always change it by submitting a request for change.
