Analysis
Correct the record that is wrong, using a birth certificate, passport or school certificate as proof. Example: PAN shows 01-01-1980 and Aadhaar shows 15-06-1980; if the passport says 15-06-1980, correct PAN. Biometric authentication carries a small service charge and is useful when correction is hard.
