The 60-second version
PAN address mismatch blocks e-verification and bank KYC. I file NSDL correction with Indian address proof, re-link Aadhaar, and refresh IT + GST portals within 30 days.
Foreign address on PAN breaks e-verify OTP routing
Returning NRIs often have US/UK address on PAN from Form 49AA — IT portal and bank NPCI reject e-KYC until Indian address updated.
NSDL PAN correction needs Indian address proof (rent agreement, utility, Aadhaar) and ₹107 fee online.
After PAN update, re-run Aadhaar-PAN link check and bank KYC within 30 days.

The plan is only as good as the sequence.
