If the data on both cards do not match, it could lead to problems in the future. Changing details on a PAN card can now be done online as well. Here is how to go about it:

Once here, click the drop-down menu under Application type and select Changes or correction in existing PAN data/Reprint of PAN card. Fill in all the correct details, enter the captcha code to prove you are human and then hit Submit.
