To change the surname of your wife, you need execute an affidavit on a non judicial stamp paper giving the reason for the change of surname.

The said affidavit has to be filed before the Passport authorities with necessary application for change of particulars.

Likewise you can inform the Income Tax department regarding the change of surname of your wife with an application for issue of duplicate pan card and also in your application you can mention as to what name has to be printed on the pan card.
