how long does it take to get pan card

The time it takes to receive your Permanent Account Number (PAN) card depends on your application method:

• An Instant e-PAN can be generated within a few minutes through the Income Tax Department's portal if you have a valid Aadhaar linked to your mobile number.
• If you apply online through Protean or UTIITSL, you can typically receive the e-PAN via email within 2 to 4 working days.
• The physical PAN card is generally delivered to your registered address by post within 10 to 15 working days after your application is processed and the card is dispatched.
