My PAN card got damaged and I am applying for a new card. I am thinking of changing my signature which I am using since my 10th standard. I have completed my post graduation and doing job now. That signature is in DL, Passport and Bank/insurance accounts and that is what I used in my college life also. What will be the impact of this? will it be possible for me to change in all above mentioned places? Does this impact in any form my graduation/post graduation degree as I used my sign in all college related forms as well?
