You can download your e-PAN card online from the official portals of the Income Tax e-Filing website, Protean (formerly NSDL), or UTIITSL. The download process generally involves:
- Visiting the portal where your PAN application was processed.
- Selecting the 'Download e-PAN' option.
- Entering your PAN number, Aadhaar number, or acknowledgement number, along with your date of birth.
- Verifying your identity with an OTP sent to your registered mobile number.
The e-PAN is delivered as a PDF file, which is password-protected. The password is your date of birth in DDMMYYYY format. A small fee may be applicable if your PAN was allotted over 30 days ago.
