how do i get duplicate pan card

You can obtain a duplicate PAN card (also called a 'reprint') either online or offline. The quickest way is through the online portal of Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL.

• Visit the official Protean or UTIITSL website.
• Select the 'Request for Reprint of PAN Card' application type.
• Enter your existing PAN and Aadhaar number, then submit and pay the applicable fee of ₹50 for dispatch within India.

A digital e-PAN is issued instantly, and the physical card is typically dispatched to your registered address in 15-20 working days. If the card was stolen, you should file a police FIR and attach a copy to your application.
