how many days to get e pan card

The time it takes to get your e-PAN card can vary based on the application method. If you apply using the Income Tax Department's instant PAN facility with Aadhaar-based e-KYC, you can receive your e-PAN instantly, often within 10 minutes. For a standard online application through portals like Protean (formerly NSDL) or UTIITSL, the e-PAN is typically delivered to your registered email address within 2 to 7 working days. Some expedited services also allow for receipt of the e-PAN within 48 hours.
