<h1>PAN Card Update Not Reflecting After 30 Days</h1>

<!-- ANSWER BOX - Start with direct solution -->
<div class="fk-answer-box">
    <p><strong>Answer:</strong> If your PAN update is not reflecting after 30 days, raise a grievance on the Income Tax e-Filing portal under "PAN" category. Average resolution time is 7-15 working days.</p>
