how long does a pan card take

The time it takes to get a Permanent Account Number (PAN) card depends on the method of application. For an instant e-PAN, you can receive the number via email within a few minutes to 48 hours, provided you use your Aadhaar linked to your mobile number. The processing and postal delivery for the physical PAN card generally takes about 15 to 20 days after your application has been successfully submitted and verified by the relevant authorities.
