1. While filling in your application, you should fill your surname before your first name. However, on the PAN card, your name will appear in the sequence of 'First name Surname'.
2. There is a paperless facility called e-KYC and e-sign where your Aadhaar details will be used. You don't have to upload images such as photo, signature or other supporting documents. Your Aadhaar photograph will appear in your PAN if you use the e-KYC and e-sign facility.
3. There is a second method which is a standalone e-sign facility where you are required to upload your photograph, signature (in black ink) and specified supporting documents in a prescribed format, unlike in the e-KYC and e-Sign option.
4. However, for minor applicants and cases where a representative assessee is appointed, then the e-KYC and e-sign facility is not allowed.
5. You should only use the e-Sign or e-KYC methods if your mobile/email is linked with Aadhaar as you will be required to undergo the Aadhaar authentication process.
