Typically, it takes 10 to 15 working days to receive the physical PAN card at your registered address after your application is successfully processed and dispatched. However, if you apply online with Aadhaar-based e-KYC, an e-PAN (electronic copy) is generally issued much faster, often within 48 hours or sometimes even within a few minutes through the Income Tax Department's instant PAN facility. The overall timeline depends on the application method selected and the time required for document verification.
